Hello! I want to introduce myself through this letter. My full name is Cristian Felipe Pablo Ruiz. I live with my mother. She works hard at home, and she sews typical clothes to earn some money; she sometimes works as a babysitter. My parents are separated, and my father is in the United States. He sends me economic support every month, but I have communication with him every two months. We are members of the Catholic Church, and we like being part of the Holy Week’s masses.  

I am 11 years old, and I am in 6th grade this year. I tell you that it was so hard for me when I found out that my parents got separated; but God helped me to go ahead and be fine.  Jesus is my Savior. I have a friend named Jeferson, and we like playing soccer together; I met him 5 years ago. I identify a lot with my mother because she helps me with everything. She helped me to give my information to the Evangelism team. Well, this is all for now, and I hope you enjoy reading my letter. May God bless you! 

Sincerely yours  

Cristian Felipe Pablo Ruiz
