I want to thank you because thanks to your support I have been able to study, but mainly thanks to God. This year I have learned new things at school and it has been a beautiful and easy year because I passed all my classes. I hope you are doing ok and hope that God is giving you abundant blessings and prosperity.
Merry Christmas and joy to your families! You deserve this and much more! You are great; I appreciate you very much and send you thousand kisses. I hope you had a good time this year, hope you received good things and good news. God bless your jobs, families and mainly your Church.
My family is made up of my uncle Luis, uncle Jorge, uncle Victor (the one I like the most), my sister Diana (the oldest), my sister Angela (the one in the middle), my mother, my father and I. I had a schnauzer dog called Toby. It was white but it was poisoned and died.
Catty my female dog had 4 little puppies. After Toby died I was gifted a Rottweiler dog called Hachi but we gave it away because it was too big and fierce. I recovered from it well and have been enjoying the puppies of my dog Catty. They are three months old and Catty became 6 years old last September 5th.
Sincerely,
Liset Aurora

Dear sponsors:
My family and I send you a special greeting and a hug. I want to share with you that I did very well at school this year. I go to the gym every other day; I am a member of the school’s band; I will turn 15 years old and will graduate from middle school this year.
I also want to tell you that I have enjoyed good health. I like English very much, I like to go out with friends and have a beautiful family. I hope this year that is about to end was a year to fulfill goals. I also hope you are enjoying good health.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the New Year bring blessings to you!
I invite you to come to visit Colombia, especially my town El Cocuy which attracts tourism at the national level because of its snowcapped mountain. You are always in my prayers.
With appreciation,
Laura Vanessa

Jhennifer's letter with English translation below
Dear sponsors:
May the benediction of God our Almighty Father be with you today and always!
In this day that I can write to you I give thanks to God for having the support of beautiful and generous people like you. Thank you for the support you gave me this year because my family went through a difficult financial situation. I used the money to pay for school expenses.
I continue to give thanks to God for your lives and jobs. I send you a kiss and a strong and loving hug for Christmas. May all the wishes of your heart come true! May our Lord sustain you!
I would like God to give me the opportunity to meet you this Christmas, to thank you and hug you. Meanwhile, I continue to keep you in my heart today and always. I want to ask you a special favor and that is to pray for a job for my mom and also pray so that my father gets a permanent job close to us so we can be together as family.
Dear sponsors, may this Christmas and the upcoming year bring great blessings and health, unity in the family, but mostly love. This is my and my family’s wish for you with much love and appreciation. Once again thanks. I love you very much!

Here's Cristian's letter with the English translation below:
Dear and beloved sponsors:
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is my wish that He blesses you always and also I hope you are doing well. After this greeting, I am writing to you to tell you a little bit about me and my school. I am fine thanks to God. As I had shared with you before, this year I am in 6th grade. I feel it has been a difficult year because I must be more responsible and getting used to this reality has been a little difficult. I have a lot of homework to do every day, I have to do researches on Internet, read books about theater, biographies and literature and write a summary by hand. This is new to me because when I was in elementary school my teachers used to pamper us and the homework we had to do was easier.
I also want to tell you that I attend my Church called Only by Faith, the Church I have always been going to. Three months ago a group of children and I started taking music lessons. I want to learn how to play the drums. They are my favorite instrument and I am good at playing them! This year I do not attend Sunday school but the teenagers group. Twenty days ago I went to a teenagers retreat in a beautiful farm. I had a lot of fun there because there was a big group of people from different Lutheran Churches. We shared a lot, I met new teenagers my age, we played and swam but most important we shared a lot about our Lord’s Word through prayers, songs, Bible studies and playing. Different teenagers from different places in the country attended this retreat and we were really happy for those two days. I wish that this continues to always happen.
I also want to let you know that I appreciate you a lot and you are always in my heart and mind. My mother and I ask Jesus to always bless you and to keep your heart as good as it is. May our Lord prosper you day by day is our wish. I appreciate you very much!
