It is a privilege to say hello to you through this letter. My full name is Luisa De La Cruz Ajqui, and I am glad to update you about my family and me. I am 12 years old and I am in good health. I live with my parents and two siblings. My father is a farmer and my mom is a housewife. We grow corn for our consumption and raise sheep to sell. My siblings are doing well, but that is not the case of my parents. So, please pray for them. My mom went to the health center in our town looking for help because she suffers from headaches, pain in her heart, and menstruation disorders. As for my father, let me tell you that he suffers from so much pain in his left knee. We are a humble family and do not have enough resources to buy the medicine.  

Now, let me tell you about myself. I am doing my best at school as a fourth grader. I study on the morning shift. My favorite pastime is playing with my dolls. On weekends, I attend church alongside my siblings. We have been members of a Christian Church for a long time. My mom is sure about her salvation and was congratulated by a teacher of the LW evangelism team. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I thank you so much for loving and blessing me. The food that I receive at the feeding program is delicious. My favorite food is sausages and beans. Last year, I enjoyed celebrating Christmas at the feeding program. What I liked the most were the choreographies. I say goodbye to you now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter.  

Kisses and hugs,  

Luisa De La Cruz Ajqui
