My Story

Hello! My full name is Cristofer Edmundo Ortiz Ruiz, and I am glad to greet you through this letter. Fortunately, I am a healthy 14-year-old boy. I am in eighth grade at school. I have met good people like my best friend, Brayan. We have been friends for about eight years. We like playing soccer. I want to share that I took a trip to a nice water park called Xocomil a while ago. I had a lot of fun! I am sure God took care of me all the time until I went back home. I am so happy because Jesus is my savior and an unconditional friend.

Now, let me tell you about my family. I love and admire my mom because she is a great housewife. While she cares for us, my father works as a welder to cover our needs. By the grace of the Lord, my whole family is doing well. We attend the Catholic church in the main town. Our favorite liturgical time is Holy Week because we can participate in the processions and see nice carpets made of sawdust on the streets. To end this letter, I want you to know that my father helped me share all this information with LW just for you. Have a nice and blessed day!

In Jesus’ name,

Cristofer Edmundo Ortiz Ruiz
