Ha, ha, ha, ha...cute quote.

I think it's awesome that your husband is getting to go on this mission's trip...and will also have a chance to meet Heidi. I think he needs to let Compassion some in advance (I forget how long) so they can arrange for the meeting.

He will have to post pics of the trip!!!

It's pretty easy on Compassion's website to let them know you want to meet the child. And since the trip is in July, he has plenty time. Someone at church today brought up an exciting fascet of this--having pics and a story about someone meeting their Compassion child will likely make others more interested in sponsoring a child.
He'll take tons of pics, and I'm sure he'll post some.

I agree. I think that could help make others interested. Compassion is so personal. It's not just giving money blindly, not really knowing who it's touching.

That is so cool that Dolce is going to Bolivia and that he's going to get to see the child that you support. The recipe looks yummy and so low in calorie3s, that's pretty impressive.....

Yep. Pretty exciting.
The recipe was so easy, and it tasted great. And it's all protein and vegies.

Can't be that. I just wish that they had a high carb weight loss diet .

That's great news for Dolce - it's nice to have something like that to look forward to. Even moreso by the fact that he will get to meet Heidi.

He's getting so excited now that it's looking like it's really going to happen. The last hurdle is getting the two consecutive weeks off work, but I think they will say yes.

I think Dolce should throw a big sicky if they say no. :P
