Praise the Lord because I am able to write you this letter and share with you my updated information.  My name is Madely Eliana Riz Garcia. I want to tell you that as a family we are not attending any church, but the LW teacher shared the gospel with me. I am thinking about seeking one, but before I do, I need to talk with my parents about the good advice that I received. I helped to collect this information. My mother is a housewife and she washes clothes for others in order to earn some money and contribute to the home expenses. Thankfully, she is a healthy woman and her name is Juana Garcia Chingo. My father is a healthy man. Currently, he earns a living by working as a mason. They take care of the family and live with us.  

I finished my primary school last year and it was a good experience in my life. I felt the presence of God in my heart because he always gave me wisdom to learn my subjects. Jesus is my savior. I identify with my mother because we do the housework together and we have a good time. My best friend`s name is Yaquelin and we play football. We have been friends since we were younger.  I am a 13 year old healthy teenager and I am not studying this year because I do not want to continue, but I help my mother doing chores at home. Thank you for taking the time to read my little story. Blessings to you! 

Huge hugs, 

Madely Eliana Riz Garcia
