Sheena Update

I logged on the computer tonight, to write some letters to my Compassion kids. I thought I would check one more time and see if maybe I could find Sheena on Facebook. I searched quite a bit yesterday, but no luck.

As I logged on, I noticed I had a friend request...I clicked and discovered it was Sheena. I screamed with excitement. Then ran to tell me sister.

I do understand that there can be possible risks to social network communication, I don't do a ton of things on Facebook. I also did a quick skim through over information, and photos, to make sure I had nothing that could put me at risk (like address/phone number, that sort of thing).

It was nice to go through her photos to see her smiling face, along with friends and family. I did send her an email, sort of brief, telling her of how I did hear her good news, and how proud I am. And I also explained the situation from last year when I did get her friend request and why I didn't respond.

I am a little curious how this relationship with change now. But for now, I'm excited to see her smiling face!

How cool!!! I hope the Lord continues to bless your relationship with her and that you can continue to be an encouragement in her life!
I think it's so exciting that websites like Facebook exist. It's a way to connect people from all over the world. I am so happy that you and Sheena are now friends on Facebook. I hope your relationship continues to grow and develop!
Oh I'm so glad for you! The prospect of losing touch with her sounded awful, but now you've got a whole new part of your relationship to look forward to. I guess it could be difficult to begin with, without Compassion to translate, but maybe she's bright and can speak English really well if she finished the programme early. Anyway, praying God's blessing on your relationship with her.
That is awesome!!! We skype with our sweet friend Joy, from the Philippines (she was not in the compassion program) and maybe you could skype with Sheena! I am so encouraged by your story! It gives me high hopes for my sweet Jazzy Rain from the Philippines!! Thanks for sharing this great story!
I am soo happy for you!! What a blessing.
