My Story

It is a big blessing to say hello to you through this letter. I am Elmer Adrian Toledo, and I hope the Lord is taking care of you wherever you go. I am a healthy 11-year-old boy. I attend school as a fifth grader. My best friend’s name is Joshua. I met him when we were in first grade. I want to share that I went to the zoo a while ago for the first time. That was a nice experience because I could see beautiful animals while I was eating a snack. I was grateful to the Lord for having the opportunity to see His creation. I kindly ask you to pray for my whole family and me. Sadly, one of my brothers passed away this year. This tragic situation has impacted my mom’s health.

She receives vitamin shots every week to alleviate the nerve disturbances she experiences. I appreciate she is dedicated to teaching my siblings and me to be good people. She works hard as a domestic employee to support our family. She also sells homemade food on Fridays and Sundays to earn extra income. She also has taught us that Jesus is God’s son, who gave his life for everybody. We have attended the Full Gospel Christian church for about one year. I will leave you now, but thank you so much for reading my information. I hope to hear from you soon. 

Sincerely yours,

Elmer Adrian Toledo
