Hello beloved sponsor!  It is a joy for me to write this letter for you hoping that as you read it, you and your family are in good health.  I want to tell you that I live with my mother and my sister.  My mother works in a place where they sell food for animals and my sister is studying.  We are in good health.  At home, I help to clean and to sweep.  I go to a school called “Republic of Ecuador” and my favorite subject is language.  I am striving to pass my grade.  We do not go out much, but on Sundays we go to the park or we go out to eat an ice cream.  We have a lot of fun together.  For my birthday, they bought me a cake and we went to eat pizza.  My goal is to study because I want to be a carpenter so that I can help my mother.  I like to play ball, tag and marbles with my friends. My sister and I like to watch television and to pick on each other.  We go to Mount Hebron church and I really like the drums.  I hope to learn to play them someday.  I also like the Bible classes.  I like to come to the feeding program because I like to see my friends.  I like it when they give us beef patties and rice for lunch.  I ask for you to pray that God watches over my mother and blesses her always.  That is all that I have to tell you for now.  I am going to ask God to bless you greatly.  I send you a hug with much love.

Blessings and much love,

Jefferson Estuardo Monroy Tunchez
