My Story

Hello, I am so happy to write this letter for you. I pray you are doing well and enjoying many blessings from God. Thank you for taking the time to read my information. This is Juan, and I am 12 years old now. This year, I am in 5th grade at school. It is difficult for me when I get sick and need to visit a private doctor because sometimes my parents do not have enough money to pay for it. God, in His infinite mercy, has helped us when we pass through these kinds of situations. I love my mother because she loves me and is patient. I enjoy spending time with my cousins and siblings playing football and tag. I consider them my friends.

I have a hard-working mother and I am thankful for her life and healthy. My mother is the only one who supports our family because she is a single mother. She earns a living working as a weaver and she also raises hens, pigs and sheep to sell. In addition, she takes care of our family and household chores. We still attend the Catholic church, and my favorite activity is the thanksgiving for the crops. My mother believes in God and the evangelism teachers encouraged her to continue in God´s way. For me, Jesus is the Savior of the world. My mother helped me to provide my information. May God pour out many blessings upon you. Well that is all for now.

Lots of love and kisses,

Juan Alfredo Luis
