I've only had the change to volunteer once, but we didn't have that many kids sponsored. I'd love to do it again sometime though.Corinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507580564177056429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139103506951694691.post-88870890686628550272012-03-17T22:25:41.925-05:002012-03-17T22:25:41.925-05:00There was a line to get to talk to the Duggars, bu...There was a line to get to talk to the Duggars, but people were waiting in it for over an hour. There was no way I could sacrifice an hour away from the table. <br /><br />When I got home, I signed up on the First To Call list. When there is an event in my area, Compassion will email me asking me if I would like to volunteer. I can't wait to do it more often.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161993555248255353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139103506951694691.post-90305284860873316992012-03-17T22:24:14.252-05:002012-03-17T22:24:14.252-05:00The day was great.

I came home at 7 p.m and I've literally been doing nothing for the last few hours. I have zero energy to think about anything else. I'm wiped out.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161993555248255353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139103506951694691.post-70188257196360261162012-03-17T21:58:24.500-05:002012-03-17T21:58:24.500-05:00I love to work events and have driven 2 to 2 1/2 h...I love to work events and have driven 2 to 2 1/2 hours to work events! How fun that you were right next to the Duggars! I really like their family too.Yvonnehttp://blessedtobeahomemakingmom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139103506951694691.post-62957432416706250542012-03-17T21:46:20.204-05:002012-03-17T21:46:20.204-05:00That sounds like such an amazing time!

I'm really excited, but also a little nervous because I am quite the introvert when meeting new people. But your post really reassured me. I think it will help that I will have just come back from meeting Rosa so I can tell people about that experience! I am so happy that 187 children were sponsored! What a successful day!<br /><br />Oh and I love the Duggars too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139103506951694691.post-83506637955769561392012-03-17T21:35:06.042-05:002012-03-17T21:35:06.042-05:00I didn't even think about volunteering like th...I didn't even think about volunteering like this. I actually got an email from Compassion that said something along the lines of, "hey, you live in this town. We're having a table there. Want to help out?"<br /><br />I couldn't think of single reason to say no. God pretty much threw it in my lap saying, here you go, let's do this.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161993555248255353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139103506951694691.post-75645160346291553622012-03-17T21:33:33.709-05:002012-03-17T21:33:33.709-05:00What an amazing experience.

I live in a small town, and so most opportunities arise an hour plus drive away, and are during the week. And when I have to be to work at 6am, it makes it difficult to make that kind of commitment. Thanks for sharing your experience, and that's an amazing number of kids sponsored. <br /><br />I bet that was pretty neat being near the Duggars too!!Hezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09414762840964184063noreply@blogger.com
