My Story

I feel blessed to greet you through this letter. This is Alex Zacarias Pastor Hernandez, and I hope this finds you doing well alongside your loved ones. I am 25 years old. I am dedicated to helping my mom with the chores, such as carrying firewood packages. I also help shepherd our cows. When I do it, I also take time to talk with my best friend, Miguel. We have been friends since we were children. I kindly ask you to pray for me. I have felt sick lately, but I hope the medicine my family and I bought will help me feel better. Now, let me tell you about my parents. My father is a farmer and a day laborer. Unfortunately, he is also sick. He is under treatment, but that is not working. So please, pray for him.

My mom is a housewife and sells flowers at the market on Thursdays and Sundays. She uses her income to contribute to the expenses. As for her health, let me tell you that she hurt her left index finger a few months ago. She got an infection, but she is under treatment. We are members of a Christian church called Emanuel. There are many activities held there, but our favorite one is the Christmas dinner. I will leave you now, but I hope you found my information engaging. See you later!

Kind regards,

Alex Zacarias Pastor Hernandez
