Receive a warm and affectionate greeting. My name is Francisco Alexander Hernandez Ruiz, and it is a pleasure for me to share with you some news about my family and me. Thankfully, we are in good health condition; I am 13 years old, and I am a 6th grader and attend school in the morning. On weekends, I help my father to do the household chores. Living Water Ministry has blessed me in different ways; the food I receive every week is a huge help for us, and my favorite meal is friend chicken because it is so delicious. Besides that, what I like most of the Christmas Celebration at the feeding program are the games we have during this activity and receiving my gift which is another way in which they bless me, and I am so grateful to God for allowing me to be part of this beautiful project. 

 My parents are hardworking people, and they do their best to cover our needs. My father earns a living by working both as a farmer and as a day laborer; he also has his own plants, and all his harvests are for selling at the market. My mother sells the herbs and vegetables that my father cultivates every Saturday and Sunday because these are market days. Moreover, we raise hens for selling to improve our incomes, and we also cultivate corn for our consumption. As a family, we continue attending the Catholic Church; we need you to pray for us so that God continues blessing our lives and the studies of my siblings and me. My mother provided this information to the Evangelism teachers, and they also shared the Gospel with her and encouraged her to continue in God’s path. I hope you find my letter interesting; I love you so much and I pray for God to bless you wherever you are.   

 In Jesus Name, 

Francisco Alexander Hernandez Ruiz
