This is the most recent correspondence from my sponsored child through Compassion International:

Dear Sponsor, Jonathan Griffith,

I send you a warm greeting and I hope you are in good health as well as your family.  My family is fine, thanks to God.  We will have vacation from school soon and I am doing very well.  I hope you to write me back soon.  I will travel to Cartagena on vacation to play in a soccer championship probably.  I wish you and your family a merry Christmas.  I would like you to keep praying for me and my family.  I will pray for you and your family too.  Thank you for your gift.  I would like to know where you will spend Christmas.  I will say goodbye for now.

Dear Jonathan Griffith:

I greet you with great love and affection!  I hope this letter finds you in very good health.  I am very glad to write again for you and tell you that I am doing very well in school.  Now I am in 5th grade and I am very busy because I have many home works to do for school.  I am doing well in the Project too.  I keep learning very much about Jesus and I like it very much.

I stayed home for Easter along with my family.  My little brother is also doing very well in school.  I am so sorry for the accident you had in your motorbike.  Thanks God, you are better now and nothing grave happened to you.

Thanks for your support.  I know you are praying for my family.  I am praying for yours and you.  Where did you spend Easter?  Loves you.

Dear Jonathan Griffith:

My dear Jonathan Griffith, how are you?  I must say that it’s a pleasure to write to you this ending year time and let you know I am in perfect health and so is my family.  I did very well in school.  Next year I will start 5th grade and I want to keep going with my education, so I ask you to be praying.  I pray for you and your family for God to bless you in this Christmas.  I also want to give you thanks for your Christmas present.

About the Project I can tell you that I am very glad and happy for your support and being special with me.  Godfather, I’d like to know: What will you do this coming Christmas?  I will spend Christmas with my parents; walking down the streets to see the lights and street decorations my city is decorated with.  In special I will walk by the May 1st Avenue which goes along by the river.  Do you have parks where you live?  Write soon.  I wish you a merry Christmas.  God bless you!

Dear Jonathan Griffith,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, wishing that you and your family are in good health.  I am so glad to write you again and I want to tell you that I am doing well in school, thank to God.  My family is fine and they say hello to you.  Why haven’t you sent me any pictures?  I would love to have some pictures of you.  How is the weather like in your country?  Here in my Town it is raining a lot and it is cold.  I love going to the project because I enjoy the activities there.  I am praying for you and if you have something special for what I may pray, please let me know.  I love you very much.

I will say goodbye to you now with lots of love.  May God bless you.

With Love,
