Hello! I send you every kind of blessing through this and I hope you are doing fine when my letter reaches you.  I want to let you know a little more about my family and me. I like to celebrate my birthday along with my relatives, so they celebrated it on March with a delicious meal for a special lunch. I feel the presence of God in my life through this activity because he provided everything. Jesus is my father and he is always with me. I admire my mother because she is a brave woman that is always doing her best for us. I have a best friend and her name is Cindy. We talk and eat together. Thank God, my family and I are enjoying good health.  

I am a 15-year-old healthy girl and my name is Mirsa Yamileth Jacobo Perez. Thankfully, I am studying the 7th grade at school this year.  My mother`s name is Alma Consuelo Perez Coyan. She earns a living by working as a maid in Guatemala City. She travels every day and she provides for our economic needs. My grandmother Maria Tranquilina is living with the family, and she takes care of us while my mother is working. She receives some money from my uncles and she shares the expenses with my mother. Currently, my family and I are attending the Catholic Church, and we are believers. I like to listen to the services every Sunday. My family and I are grateful for the spiritual support. I provided all this information to the LW teacher during the visit. I will say good bye now, but I hope you like to read my updated information. May God bless you richly! 

Huge hugs, 

Mirsa Yamileth Jacobo Perez
