Dear Padrinos, this is a nice day to greet you cordially and I hope you are having a wonderful 2025.  I want to tell you a little more about my family and me through this and I hope you like to read my letter. We are members of Catholic Church and the LW teacher encouraged my mother to continue seeking God frequently because we only attend sometimes. My mother helped the LW teacher to collect this information during the visit. My father is working as a driver and my mother is a housewife. My father`s name is Mardoqueo Matias Poron and my mother`s name is Brenda Liceth Reyes Pelen. My parents and all my family are doing fine and enjoying good health. 

This is Oscar Santiago Matias Reyes. I want you to know that I am participating in a football championship and this is an impacting experience in my life. I felt the presence and care of God upon me through this activity because he protected me and he is always with me. For me, Jesus is my everything. I admire my father because he loves me and I trust in him.  We have a nice time together. I am a 9-year-old boy and I am in 4th grade at school this year.  Pablo is the name of my best friend and we play football together.  We have been friends for 2 years and I like our friendship. May God bless you richly! 

Strong hugs, 

Oscar Santiago Matias Reyes
