Here in Guatemala, this was the day Talitha has been waiting for–the day for meeting Juan, the 5-year-old she sponsors through Compassion International.

I was blessed to be an observer while Juan’s hugs sucked a willing Talitha into a whirl of words, love, tears, prayers, games, laughs, songs, and precious gifts.

It’s a day that falls most easily into the category of a picture is worth a thousand words. So these photos should substitute well for several tens of thousands of words.

I’m not sure how many words a video is worth. See what you think. Listen for my favorite comment from Juan. Yes, I’m sure you’ll recognize it when you hear it.
