Hello! It is a pleasure for me to greet you by this means, and I am so happy to share with you some news about my family and me. My full name is Ashlly Janeth Samayoa Riquiac. Thankfully I am in good health, and I have the privilege of being assessed by the LW doctor to receive medicine when I get sick. I am 12 years old, and I am a 6th grader. I study in the morning, and I help to do the chores on weekends. Living Water Ministry also blesses me with food, and a Christmas gift; this is what I like most of the Christmas celebration at the feeding program, and my favorite meal is fried chicken.  We are members of the Catholic church, and my mother already accepted Jesus in her heart; I have not taken this decision yet, but I have the certainty that I will do it in God’s time.

I live with my mother, stepfather and brother; fortunately, they are well. My mother still works as a primary teacher to cover our needs. My stepfather is a baker, and he helps us economically. Even though my biological father does not live with us, he sends my mother a financial support for my needs; he only sends a text message to my mother informing her that he already did the transfer. At home, we also raise some hens for our consumption. I ask you to pray for my family, so God keeps us well. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter, and I want you to know that this information was provided by my mother to the evangelism teachers. May God bless you and take care of you always. 

With much love, 

Ashlly Janeth Samayoa Riquiac
