I greet you with much love, and I hope this letter finds you well. I am Rosa Maria Sulamita, and my mom helped me to write all this. I want to start by asking for your prayers for my family’s health, especially for my brother Benito who is suffering from gastritis; he is already under a medical treatment at LW Clinics. I am 11 years old, and I am in 5th grade this year. After classes, I help to wash the dishes. We are in winter season now, and I love it; the cold days are great. I have been attending the feeding program for more than 2 years, and I like the Bible classes because of the beautiful praises. My mother saw how many children were blessed at the feeding program, so it motivated her to register me in it. She is very grateful for the food and medicine I have received all this time.
I like to sing praises at my church, and I hope to serve God in this area when I grow up. My family and I are members of Prince of Peace Church, and we love attending it because God has done miracles in our lives. We gave God our hearts some time ago, and we are secure He will let us enter His Kingdom. My father does not live with us due to some personal situations, but he is helping my mother financially. He works as a moto-taxi driver, and he is in good health. My mother works as a maid to improve her income, and she is healthy too. Well, I say goodbye to you for now hoping to have news from you soon.
Kisses and hugs
Rosa Maria Sulamita Morente Mendez
