My Story

It is such a great blessing to greet you through this letter. My name is Marvin Jose Alfredo Perez Chingo, and I appreciate that you are taking the time to learn a little about my life. I am 13 years old, and I am pleased to share that I am in sixth grade. Not failing any grade at school has been a satisfactory experience, so I am deeply grateful to the Lord. I know Jesus is God, and He has always taken care of me. I am healthy, and I attend the Prince of Peace Church alongside my family. We like taking part in all the activities because they help us to be close to our Savior.

I want to share that I identify with my mother so much because we spend a lot of time together, especially when we have our meals. Unfortunately, my father is not part of my life because he abandoned us a long time ago. My mother is a single parent and works hard to support our family. She makes a living by washing clothes for other people in Zacualpa village. To end this update, let me tell you that I get along wonderfully with my cousin, Kimberly. She is my friend, and we have a lot of fun playing soccer when we get together. See you later!

Huge hugs,

Marvin Jose Alfredo Perez Chingo
