Brandilyn,
Receive a great greeting from me, I want to tell you that I am doing well in school. Also thank you for the support that you give me. How are you doing? Someday I would like to visit my Aunt Magnolia who lives in your country and is recovering from a heart attack. I would pass to Indiana to meet you in person and give you a great hug. I tell you that I dream of fulfilling my goal of graduating like a medical surgeon to help who needs it and also my family so their finance improves. I would like to see the inner side of an airplane and feel how it is to travel in a device like that. I want to visit the Arvi Park, there is a great variety of exotic animals. I am very curious to see them. Brandilyn, I hope to have news from you. I give you Proverbs 10:22. I say goodbye with a kiss.

Dear Brandilyn,
I am very happy to know that you love receiving my letters and drawings. I also like your letters and a lot and your surprises too. My family and I are fine. I hope you are doing fine in your job. I always pray for you so you will prosper. Let me tell you that on September 3rd I started the 7th year and I had the same teacher. Do you believe that thanks to his teachings I could be a professional in the future? I thank you very much for the drawings and the stickers that are very beautiful. I have to say goodbye. May God Bless you. I will pray for your grandmother a lot. I send you many hugs.

This letter was written a couple weeks before I visited her in Ecuador. I had written to her that my grandmother was ill. I have yet to tell her she passed away while I was in Ecuador. I pray God gives me the right words to express to her that while we're sad to see her go, we will see her again in Heaven :)
