Ibagué, Enero 2008
Dear Simon Gisler and Family
I can tell you I finished my ninth grade this year, and I was promoted to tenth grade. I gave the best of me to get good notes, and thanks to God I could use basic tools to do my homework. I think my success is not only mine but also yours because you have helped me. For this reason I want to say “Thank You”.
About my life I tell you I am so sad because my grandmother is dead, and now I live only with my grandfather, but he could die, he is too ill, so that is horrible for me.
Moreover, I have had to work because my mother does not find a job, so I have to help her in the economic subject. In addition, although I live in a low neighborhood in Ibagué, I always try my best and being a good and important person in order to help other people too.
On the other hand, I also feel so happy for the letter and picture that you send me, ¡I could see you there! Godfather, I consider you have a beautiful family and it’s very great for me to have Godparents like you.
Finally, I would like having more pictures and letters from you.
A kiss and huge for your wonderful son.
God blesses you and I love you so much.
WHITNEY BRILLITH PARRA DIAZ.
