It is a great pleasure for me to greet you by this means, and I hope everything goes well with you and your loved ones. I am so excited to share with you some updated information about my family and me. My name is Sulma, and thankfully, I am in good health like my family. I am so happy that this year I will turn 13 years old on July 29th, and besides that, I am so grateful to God for filling me with His love and giving me the opportunity to pass my grade last year. Now, I am a 6th grader which means this would be my last year in primary school, and this brings so much joy to my life. I have a best friend. Her name is Veronica, and we have been friends since we were little, and we attend school together.
I live with my parents and siblings; my father works so hard as a mason’s helper to supply what we need. My mother is a housewife, and she contributes economically when she sells her hens. I love my parents, but I identify more with my father since we look alike physically. We are a Christian family; we attend Assembly of God Church, and the activity I like the most at Church is our Thanksgiving service at the end of the year because it is when we thank God for all the blessings we receive during the year. Besides that, my parents have been guiding us in God’s path so we can take our own decision to accept Jesus. I personally love Jesus because He is my loyal friend who never leaves me. On behalf of my family, I want to ask you for prayers for provision for my family since we need to improve our walls and roof, but we have the certainty that God will hear our prayers and will provide us with the resources to make it happen. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I hope you like my letter, and I want you to know that my mother gave this information to the Evangelism team. I say goodbye to you with much love, and I will be waiting to hear from you soon.
In Jesus Name,
Sulma Evelyn Perez Morente
