Hi Papa. (as dictated by Josiah to Mommy)

I love you. I'm going to show you my karate. I love you beary much.
Cuz I want to share stuff with you. I pray that you protect good
ships. I will pray for you forever. I love you.

We had an Easter egg hunt at school. We got candy and Easter popcorn egg and it was so fun. I liked it so much. I like it because it's good, but Jesus died. But it was for our sins, and Jesus died for our sins cuz we really wanted to see Him in the sky. How are we going to see Him in the sky? I know how, we are going to see Him for a Jesus party in the sky. I love Jesus. He's a good person and He's beary fun and cool. I love the Lord.

I will pray for you forever and I love you. and pray that we nourish
our bodies, (he might have gone into his before mealtime prayer
here...lol) and ride the 4 wheeler and share. This 4 wheeler is fun.
It's fast and can go through mud. I be really interested in it and
tough.

We got a dog. It can jump and bite and it's beary cool and big and
black and I hope you love it and want to come and see it.

I always pray for our sins. You're a good man. He (Papa) is the person I love very much. Amen. I hope you understand that I got you a gift.
(he is not telling his mommy what it is. Apparently it is a secret)

Papa's a great servant, and there's good notes on you. (I wonder if his teacher ever talks about leaving bad or good notes for parents??)

I got two surprises. It's on Christmas. Christmas is very fun, and about God and Jesus.

I love mommy and papa. I like to read books. I like to do
games. I like to play a hunting game when I can shoop birds. I like to
hunt with my dad. I hope you can come if you want to.

I love you.

Josiah
