three boxes, three continents

A couple of days before Christmas, we got the tracking email telling us where our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes had gone.  We put together three boxes, and they went to three different continents!  We had one box travel to Kenya, one to Southwest Asia, and one to the Dominican Republic.

Of course, this meant that Kiddo and I had to get the globe out.

The same day, we got our first letter from the little boy we are sponsoring through Compassion.  He is such a cutie!  I would love to post pictures, but have decided not to for now, to protect his privacy.  So you will just have to trust me on the cutie part.  We are looking forward to building a relationship with him and his family as we send letters back and forth.  Speaking of which, we should probably be writing another letter soon...maybe sometime this week when Kiddo needs a break from playing with his Christmas presents.
