My Story

I greet you in Jesus’ name, and I hope you are doing well wherever you are. I thank you for reading my update information. I am Roselia, and let’s start this letter talking about my family. We are sharing our house with my paternal grandparents. We are members of the Catholic Church, and we are motivated to attend it because we are united like a big family; we visit and help each other in times of need. We trust in God, and we have received Him in our hearts, so we believe we will enter His Kingdom someday. I would like to ask for your prayers for our health and parents’ economic situation. My father works as a farmer and day laborer, and he goes to cut sugar cane at the coast for 6 months. My mother works as a weaver and raises hens and pigs for selling, and she also does the household chores. My parents are in good health, and so am I.

I am attending school, and I am in 4^th grade this year. At home, I help to feed the hens and pigs. I like both summer and winter season; they are perfect for different activities. I have been attending the feeding program for 2 years, and I like the Bible classes because I have learned to pray. I tell you that my mom was part of the program when she was younger, and she remembers the nice and quiet environment there; she enjoyed the delicious lunches. Due to her good experience there, she wanted us to enjoy it too. She helped me with this letter for you. I say goodbye to you for now.

Sincerely yours

Roselia Ajqui Mechen
