My name is Ashly Dorcas Merari Quexel Alvarado, and I am pleased to know you are reading my updated information. I am a healthy 11-year-old girl. I am in fifth grade. I identify with my parents because they love and take care of me. I am grateful for having them in my life. Fortunately, they are doing well. I enjoy going for walks or going shopping with my mom. Spending time with her is the most valuable thing for me. She is a domestic employee, and my father is a farmer. I admire them because they strive to support our family. We attend a Christian church called Jesus Comes Soon. We like the sermons and worship time.
My sister and I enjoy attending the bible school on Sunday because we have learned that Jesus is God’s son and our savior. Now, let me tell you a little about my best friend, Alma. We like playing soccer and doing homework together after school. To end this letter, I want you to know that my mom helped me share all my news with LW just for you.
Sincerely yours,
Ashly Dorcas Merari Quexel Alvarado
