When Pat went to Promise Keepers in California in 2007 God led him to adopt a little girl from Compassion International. Her name is Monique, she lives in Africa in a country called Burkino Faso. She writes letters to us quite often and she has sent us photos of her and her family. I am not a good letter writer, I am trying to get caught up and send her a lot of letters in the next few weeks.
This picture is the most recent one that I have received. It shows what she did with the birthday money that we sent her. She bought fabric to make a dress, bought new shoes and bought rice and beans and soap for her family.
This is her family, Notice the little girl with the black shirt on, she is using a shirt as a skirt, you can see the sleeve on her hip. I don't know if her siblings have sponsors or not.
They appear to be poor, Pat and I pray that we are able to make a difference in her and her families life. Compassion International makes sure that the children learn about Jesus, we hope to see her in heaven some day.
Maybe her and her sister will get one of the dresses we are going to make.
