Today we met our new sponsor child Lucero - what a delight! We learned many things we hope will enable us to better encourage her in life and in her spiritual walk.
Some things we learned (in no particular order):
1. Lucero loves volleyball! She plays on a team at the local park. Sports are a definite priority!
2. She likes to eat chicken. Her family keeps a small coop of a few chickens which they use for eating (not for eggs). However they reserve chicken only for special occasions . One of the main staples of their diet is potato. The family keeps a big pile of potatoes in their house for food. (pile is ~4 feet wide, 1 foot high).
3. Lucero had a prior sponsor who only wrote one letter in all the years they sponsored her. We told her we will try write faithfully!
4. Lucero has become a follower of Jesus Christ, and she is actively working at growing her relationship with Him.
5. She is a straight A student in school and hopes to go to college someday. She is thinking of studying graphic design
and clearly wants to make something of herself.
All in all, today was a day of surprises. Her personality really popped - it was great to meet her in person, and we are excited about growing this relationship!
