It is hard to imagine ever meeting your sponsored child but actually getting the opportunity to visit with him twice...in one year...behind comprehension!! The excitement that I felt as we drove up to the path to Rocky's home was indescribable!! There stood Rocky, waiting for me to arrive! What a greeting we had! Last time, he was so shy and didn't say a word. This time, he gave me a BIG hug and we chatted all the way to his home. He is attending school where he is in P-2..that is 2nd grade and is doing well with his studies. His grandmother, Sulina, whom races him and his brother along with many other orphans greeted all of us as we arrived at their home. Rocky was able to tell me the names of our family as I showed him current pictures. It brought tears to my eyes!! He practiced with the jump rope that we had brought for him. I couldn't pass up a chance to play a little soccer with the ball that we had brought, skirt and all!! Rocky made me the most amazing car made of light wood and colored with Uganda colors. Truly a masterpiece!! He also gave me a picture that he drew of himself and his home. A budding artist to be sure!! It was AWESOME!!! May the Lord bless you mightily, Rocky! Sara
