I greet you with much love wishing you the best for this year. I thank you in advance for taking the time to read my letter. I am your sponsored child, Elmer Orlando. I tell you that I am not attending school this year, and I work when I have the opportunity. I have worked as a mason helper or helper in trucks. Thank God, I am in good health. I have a friend with whom I like playing football. His name is Manuel, and I met him three years ago. I went to the beach some time ago, and it has been one of my best experiences. I was so happy to see the sea, and I really enjoyed that trip.
I only have my mother with me since my father did not take responsibility for us. He is in jail, and it is the only thing that I know about him. My mother is father and mother for me, and she does her best to cover our needs. She is working in a coffee farm in the next town; she is in good health. At the moment, my family and I are not attending a church, but I am grateful to LW Evangelism team because they have encouraged me to seek God. For me, Jesus is someone very important, and I believe in Him. I hope you like my letter. May God bless you!
With much love
Elmer Orlando Galvez May
