My name is Marlon Samuel, and I am happy to have the opportunity to greet you through this letter. I am in 7th grade this year, and I study in the afternoon. I rest and draw on weekends. I am 15 years old, and I am healthy. One of my favorite dishes is fried chicken with potatoes. I have received grocery bags and medical attention through LW Ministries, and they have been a great blessing for me. Christmas celebration at the program is beautiful, and I love to receive my present.
My sibling and I live with our grandmother, Anabella, and she has done her best to cover our needs in spite of the difficulties. She is not working and only receives a small amount of money from her children; we have only survived thanks to God’s mercy. My parents have their own families, and they are helping us financially but it is a minimal part. I would like to ask for your prayers for my family and me so that God continues supporting us and blessing my grandma with good health. We have one dog and one cat as pets. We are now attending Open Heavens Pentecostal Church, and my grandma is one of the servants. I gave all my information to an Evangelism teacher, and I hope you like it. I say goodbye to you for now.
Cordially yours
Marlon Samuel Ramirez Juarez
