Hello! I am Eva Gutierrez Chingo, and I feel so blessed to write this letter to you. I want to share that I passed second grade last year. This was an exciting experience for me because I worked hard to accomplish it. I am sure the Lord helped me with this. I am a third-grade student now. Because of God’s glory, I am a healthy 11-year-old girl. After school, I help my mom with some chores. She teaches me how I should do it. I identify with her because she is a loving and neat woman. Besides caring for our family, she sells edible herbs at the market on Sundays. Her income is used to help with the expenses at home. My father is a good man who strives to support our family. He is a farmer and day laborer. I have many good friends like Dayana. She has been my friend for about two years. We enjoy playing freeze tag at school. My family and I attend the Assembly of God Church. There are engaging activities at church, but nothing compares to the Thanksgiving service. That is so special, and we like getting involved in it. Thank you so much for reading my information! I want you to know that my mom and I shared this letter to LW so you could hear from me. I send you many and huge hugs from the beautiful mountains in Quiche.  

With much love,  

Eva Gutierrez Chingo
