Knitting for Thailand!

Well, I'm not actually knitting for Thailand. I finished a knit project for a specific young lady in Thailand whom I have gotten to know through letters over the past year. I hope she likes what I've knit her.

I will be mailing these off tomorrow, along with a couple of pictures of me knitting them. I'm afraid to say that I'm too shy about being photographed and have not yet sent any pictures of myself to my sponsored kids. I do send them photos of other things, just not of me. But my Thai girl asked for a photo in her last letter so I'm sending her one. I guess it's only fair, as I look forward to her upcoming photo update!

The sponsorship trip is in just a couple of weeks. I am so, so, so grateful to the sponsor who offered to deliver my gift. If it wasn't for her, I'd never be able to send anything more than paper. And while studies have shown that the sponsored kids are most encouraged by the words we write, it's a blessing to be allowed to send something I made and prayed over especially for her.
