Make A Difference To One

By Chuck

[Editor's Note: Chuck and his wife returned home safely yesterday, exhausted but excited to share their experiences with everyone. They spent their time in Honduras visiting families, working for Compassion, and spent a day visiting with the three kids their own family sponsors. To give Chuck time to get settled back in town, and at his 'day job,' as well as give him some time to write a new article for us, he asked us to re-post his blog post about the day he spent with the kids his family sponsors. Enjoy.]

(Thursday, May 21, 2009) Today was child visitation day! This was the day two years ago that changed my life forever. Those that know me and know my story understand the impact that meeting my sponsored child meant and how Compassion became my focus. I can never really put into words what a day like this is truly like. The emotional highs and lows are hard to describe. The doubts and fears that I had two years ago were not present. It was more like nervous anticipation about the entire day. We would be seeing Linda and Jeyelly for the second time and meeting Jorge for the first time.
