Yesterday was Majlinda's 10th birthday! If you've been reading for a while, you know that Majlinda is one of the children that I sponsor with World Vision. She lives in Albania, near the seacoast. I have another little boy in Albania, in the same community, called Redion, and I have a little girl in South Africa called Boikokobetso.
I can't believe that Majlinda is now ten! TEN! I've officially been sponsoring her for more than half her life, as she was just four when she came into my life. This is the most recent photo that I have of her, which I received a few weeks ago:
She's so big, especially compared with some of her early photos! I found this post from several years ago, with a photo of the doll that I sent for her birthday. She wrote back that she named the doll Alma, the Al for my name, and the Ma for hers. Isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever heard? I nearly cried when I read that.
Majinda, I hope that you had the most wonderful day, sweet girl.
I'm so blessed to have you in my life.

It's so rewarding, isn't it? Im planning on sponsoring a little girl in Cambodia. Such a positive thing to do :)
Wow...how amazing is this?! Sponsoring her for more than half her life. That is so cool. Happy birthday to her. :)
