Hello, I hope my letter finds you in good health. I am sharing with you a little bit about my family and my life through this. This is Adan Calachij Morente and I am a 7-year-old boy.  I am glad because I am enrolled at school this year and I am a 1st grader and enjoying a good health. The personal experience that has impacted my life is to see many financial needs in my family, but I feel the presence of God because he has helped us by providing for our home expenses. Jesus takes care of all people. I have a great admiration for my mother because she looks after us with much love. 

My father is working hard by traveling to the coast to pick coffee beans during the harvest season for three months. He is a day laborer. His name is Camilo Calachij Barrera and thankfully, he is living with us. My mother does the home duties and she also is a weaver. Moreover, she raises her hens, so she can sell them when she needs some money. Her name is Maria Morente Morente. My parents are in good health condition and they look after us.  I want you to know that we are attending the Catholic Church.  I like the special service in which the priest prays and blesses our seeds before sowing season. The gospel was shared by a LW teacher with my mother and she also provided all this information during the visit. I hope you like my letter and I send you many blessings! 

Kisses and hugs,  

Adan Calachij Morente
