W...Ashley, you do not know me ... my name is Teena. We met the "unrecognizable" kids that you looked at and longed for your kids. We met them in Oct. 2009 at our church. We met Prava too. They stole our heart (my daughter Alyssa and I) and we have never been the same. We "followed" them. We would drive for 3, 4, 6 hrs to surprise them. We brought candy... letters... we didn't want them to forget us ..and we knew we would never forget them! We know their names. We know Josh. Josh took letters to all the Ugandan kids... Jamira was our sponsored child. <br /><br />Praying for you. I loved reading your blog. I am now a Compassion Advocate. We keep in touch with Prava... Josh... Joy... <br /><br />Just last week we went to see the choir. We took two little girls with us that had never seen them. Alyssa and I watched as their songs are different now... we thought of "our kids." We met Rina... a Nepali chaperone. She knows Prava and the Nepali children. <br /><br />wow this is way to long. <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing. <br /><br />hey have you read the book Kisses from Katie? Katie Davis story is amazing. <br /><br />grace~<br />TeenaTeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582391374202077005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793662322146443442.post-80110708706743850922009-08-28T19:45:02.369-07:002009-08-28T19:45:02.369-07:00you're gonna make me cry...I still can't f...you're gonna make me cry...I still can't fathom how you're dealing with them being gone...after only two days I feel like they stole my heart.
