<p>It wasn&#8217;t so much to have fun at the child&#8217;s expense, but really a celebration of the innocence and beauty of a little child. So, I&#8217;m curious about some of the funny things that your children have written to you. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll start off with something my little 6-year-old Sheyla from Peru wrote me: </p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know you taught math; I have a question: &#8216;Do you like ice cream?&#8217;&#8221; </p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s your turn. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey! I have new photos of Amisi. I was so blessed to <a href="http://blog.compassion.com/amisi/" title="Amisi">meet him</a> on my trip to Uganda last month.  </p>
<p><center><img border="0" src="http://blog.compassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/amisi-coloring.jpg" alt="Amisi coloring" title="Amisi coloring" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-305" /></center></p>
<p>He&#8217;s such an ambitious child! As soon as I gave him his new coloring book, he was on a <em>serious</em> mission to get every page colored. </p>
<p><center><img border="0" src="http://blog.compassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/amisi-eating-ice-cream.jpg" alt="Amisi eating ice cream" title="Amisi eating ice cream" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-306" /></center></p>
<p>I bought him some ice cream, but he wasn’t crazy about it at first. He’d never tasted anything so cold. Once it melted though, he became a fan. </p>
<p>I was told the outfit he’s wearing, along with his shoes and socks, were purchased through the Christmas Gift Program.</p>
<p><center><img border="0" src="http://blog.compassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/amisi-and-robyn.jpg" alt="Amisi and Robyn" title="Amisi and Robyn" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-307" /></center></p>
<p>Amisi is so full of life and joy. It’s hopeful to know he’s receiving health care, food and educational opportunities. And most important — he’s learning about God’s love. To be just a small part of this is such a blessing. Even though he’s only 5 years old, I pray he remembers my visit through the years and knows that I adore him. </p>
<p>During my visit, I also gave him a banner that says, “With God, all things are possible.” As he grows up, I hope he clings to this message. I can’t wait to see how God works in his life. He may be living in a poverty-stricken African village now, but with God, the possibilities for his life are endless. </p>
<p>Have you <a target="_blank" href="http://www.compassion.com/sponsordonor/tours/grouptours.htm" title="Upcoming sponsor tours">visited your child</a>? I&#8217;d love to hear about it. Leave a comment and tell me! </p>
<p>And if you have any photos, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/compassioninternational/" title="flickr.com/groups/compassioninternational">add them to our Flickr group</a>. Be sure to include brief descriptions and I’ll share some of them here in a few days!</p>
