i love my job

Sometimes I wonder if it's even appropriate to call it my "job" because it just seems too great to call it work.  Being here as the full time Lemonade "liason" (if you want to call it that), part of my responsibilities includes keeping the sponsors stateside connected with their sponsored student here in Guatemala.  I spent a good part of the day Tuesday handing out and reading letters to the students that received mail from their sponsor, and I can't even explain how much joy it brought to them.

And how much joy it brought to me as well for getting to be a part of that with them, I see these kids absolutely light up at the mention of their "padrinos" (sponsor).  To know that someone they may have never met, cares so much about them, takes time to write to them and pray for them, means SO much to the students.  I know they, as well as all of us here working in Guatemala are so deeply grateful that people all over the world are taking their time as well as their finances to pour into these kid's lives.

I can't help but smile at the thought of the joy it brings...
