Meet Rex

Well, I wish I could put his beautiful picture up here, but I'm not. I will tell you that is is 5 years old and that he is absolutely adorable. Our family sponsors him and a little girl through Compassion International. What a great organization! Anyway, the reason I brought him up is to ask for prayer for him. He lives in the Philippines and as you know, it was hit by Typhoon Ketsana. I have not heard how he and his family is doing, except that I do know that several of the Compassion sites have been hit and that several workers have lost their homes. Rex lives in a low-lying area with his mother, father, and his sisters. His oldest sister writes to us on his behalf to let us know all of the wonderful things God is doing and to tell us that he got clothes or school supplies because of us. Rex always draws us a picture and puts "I love you" on it. I wish I could meet him one day. Please pray that Rex and his family are safe and they they weren't hit by the storm. I am writing them a letter today despite the fact that it will probably take twice as long to get to them. I just want to make sure they are fine. Thanks for your prayers for our little sponsored boy!

Oh...and check out this video if you are in the least bit concerned about Iran. Joel Rosenburg is on it and explains some things. Crazy!
