For My Beloved Kayla,
How are you doing? Me and my family are doing just fine, thanks to God. I am very happy that you are my sponsor because I am going to school just like my friends, with all the supplies I need. The project buys me clothes, books, uniforms, and lots of other things. I thank you so much and I thank God for giving me you. If God didn't bless me with you, I wouldn't be going to school. May God bless you. I am now a handsome and happy child. My family loves you too. Do you love me and my family? I will close my letter by giving you my word to work hard at school.
Your Child,
Yohannis

Dear Kayla,
Blessings in the name of Jesus. In this letter, I want to let you know my deepest gratitude for your daily support and your lovely letter that you sent me. I really laugh at the funny story you sent and the story about the shoes gives us a great teaching. Today I'd like to tell you what I do during the week, Monday through Friday. I get up at 6:00 a.m in order to get ready to go to school on time. In the afternoon, I do homework and play soccer with my friends. At night, I sit down on our terrace to chat with my family. Sometimes, I go to the field near my house to see some soccer games. Then, I go to sleep around 10:00 or 10:30 p.m. My favorite day of the week is Sunday because I go to church and have more time to play. Please pray for me that I will do well in school. How are you doing? I say goodbye with this lovely Bible verse: Philippians 4:6.
Goodbye,
Juan Camilo
