I’m looking to meet you, teach you and learn from you…

Age, race, shape and size of a person does not affect my thought process. I’m just looking for a smile in you, and hopefully you can find a smile in me. Am I worth a few minutes of your time? A letter from you will answer this question for me. I will be patiently waiting to hear from you.

Do you know the feeling of loneliness? Being stuck in a place where you are misunderstood. It hurts me every day being

I consider myself a fairly normal guy who got himself into a really bad situation.

I made some really stupid decisions while drinking and it cost me more than I could ever have imagined. I ended up in prison! Not to imply that I was perfect before this, I had my share of problems in life, But I never thought I’d end up here. Anyway, more details about that when you write.

I have been incarcerated for 30 years. Long ago I gave my life to our Lord, Jesus.

I love Jesus and I am asking for someone who loves Him also. I live and dream for Jesus.

I’m on a straight edge, knowing the defined result of our faith is love, chance, spirit and concentration in the Holy word.

I believe in the common life of Christ among believers. I am praying for someone to write, to share my faith and friendship.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their

Hello everyone.

My name is Nick Mendez and I am a 35 year old Hispanic, who is currently doing some short time at Pelican Bay State Prison in California.

Right now it would be a complete blessing to hear from you as I am all alone right now. Please know that I have made some mistakes in some of my choices I have made in life and ended up here.

But, God knows I’m not a bad person. I am interested in hearing from open-minded people of any race or age. I am from San Jose, California, and if God wills I will be there shortly.
