First off I want to thank you all for the prayers and well wishes for my husband. After 5 days of feeling really bad, he is much better and almost free of pain. We are so thankful to the Lord for that!

We have had the privilege of supporting a young boy in Bolivia for 9 years. He is in the 8th grade now and is doing very well. We help him get an education through World Vision. Part of the money we send also helps the community with things to help better their lives and brings them the Good News! Here is a recent picture of him and a letter he sent. We get 2 or 3 a year from him. We send him letters to. It takes a long time to get to him as he lives in a small town up in the Andes Mountains. It has been such a joy to see him grow and know that he is getting a good education and that he knows the Lord. If you would like to sponsor a child you can go the the World Vision website and sign up.

This letter has been translated into English at the World Vision office. Marcos can only write in Spanish.

Dear Sponsor,

I thank you a lot for the letter and photo of your daughter. I thank you for the coloring sheet and stickers of Spider-man.

I am the 5th child in my family. I'm between my brothers, Alvaro and Gustavo. I have 3 younger siblings and 4 older siblings. I want to tell you that I have my older sister and she already had her baby called Luis Zandro and his sister, Melisa, who is was born and she's 3 months old.

I went to parade on August 6th because it'll be the Independence Day of Bolivia and all my classmates parade all together in the square.

I really like soccer but I'm also a good swimmer, my friends and I play a game called "look and seek".

I thank you for everything dear sponsor. Well, that's all I can tell you, I finish this letter now.

Sincerely, Marcos
