It has been busy the past couple of months and I have a couple blog posts to make. The first is about our new friend in Ecuador.
In October we learned the boy we were sponsoring was no longer taking part in the CFCA program. I went to CFCA's website and printed out several profiles of boys in Ecuador close to my son Brendan's age. He spent a day carefully considering each one before deciding on Gregory (who likes to be called Jalmor.) Much like my son, Jalmor is the oldest child in his family and has a younger sister. They also both love math and playing soccer.
In late October Brendan wrote his first letter to Jalmor, sent him a Christmas card and a birthday card. Our whole family looks forward to receiving our first letter from him.
