Thailand

Hi Best Friend,

I spent the last two days in Bangkok, Thailand. It is a very crowded city with a lot of traffic. I was glad my friend drove so I could be a passenger and see everything.

We visited a few temples honoring Buddha. He was a person that lived a long time ago. The temples were beautiful and one had a Buddha that was as big as a house. I wish you could have been here to see it with me. Ask your mom to show you some pictures on facebook.

Thailand food is awesome! It is some of the best I have ever eaten. I think you would like it too.

Did you have a nice Christmas?

Love,

Papa

Re: It’s Almost Christmas!

Dear Papa,

On my Ipod I for music I put Spanish songs, We Will Rock You, Dynamite, What Does the Fox Say, and Spanish learning books 1-16.

Yesterday I played a soccer game against FC Athletico on Field 2 and we won 11-1 and I scored one goal for my team. Here’s how I scored: I got switched from defense to forward, then my teammate Antonio passed it to me, then I was in front of the other players, then my first touch was forward and I got in the box and the goalie was coming out, and I toe poked it straight into the goal, and mommy almost missed my goal because she was talking with the other moms.

The reason why I got you that present was because you’re my best friend and because it was from the holiday shop and I wanted to get a present for you. The reason why I picked it was because to remind you of Jesus and when he died on the cross.

I liked when you came to my play when I was the wiseman with two other kids. I liked when you came because you showed full support for me. When I saw you in the audience I felt happy because it feels like I haven’t seen you in a long long time.

I found Thailand very easy because I am awesome at finding Thailand.

I am excited for Christmas because of all the presents I get, family members, clothes, just kidding, I’m not excited for clothes. And Christmas Eve is tomorrow!

Love,

Your best friend Luke.

It’s Almost Christmas

Hi There Best Friend!

Papa and the Wise Man

Thank you so much for the cross you got me as a gift. I put it next to my bed so I see it every night when I go to sleep and every morning when I wake up. It reminds me of how nice a boy you are growing up to be and how much I love you.

I was really glad to see you when I was home the past few weeks. The sleep over was my best night in the US. Breakfast at Ellie’s was so good. In India I don’t get Eggs and hashbrowns. I was very impressed at the polite way you ordered your food. You are growing up to be a very nice young man. We have to make sure we do that every time I come home for a visit. I hope to be there again at the beginning of summer but I’m not sure if it will happen.

What music did you put on your iPod? I got you the blue one cause you play for Sockers and they have blue jerseys. I am very sorry I did not see one of your games this time.

It was good to see you acting and singing because I know how much you love singing. Maybe some day you will be a rock and roll star or an actor. I loved your costume. 🙂

For Christmas I will be visiting some friends in Thailand. It is very warm there so I won’t have a white Christmas this year. I am flying on Christmas day. See if you can find Thailand on a map. Here’s a hint. It is East of India across the Bay of Bengal.

I will miss seeing everyone on Christmas day. Make sure you tell them Merry Christmas from Papa for me. Ok?

Love you always!

Papa
