My Story

I greet you in Jesus’ name, and I hope you are doing well wherever you are reading this letter. I want to tell you a little about my family and me. My parents are working hard to cover our needs. My father is working as a mason, and thank God, he is in good health. My mother earns some money by making and selling tortillas. She is suffering from diabetes, so she has to take medicine to control it; please keep her in your prayers. My mom told me that she was part of the feeding program when she was a child, and she loved the lunches because they were delicious. For this reason, she wanted my siblings and me to enjoy this experience too.

This year, I am in 7^th grade, and thankfully, I am in good health. I am 13 years old now, and I have been attending the feeding program since I was about 7 years old. When I am at home, I help to sweep and clean the rooms. I prefer the hot weather. We are not attending a church, but we know that we have to look for God, be better day by day and preach His word so that we can enter His Kingdom someday. I close my letter asking for your prayers for my mother. I wish you the best. 

With much love
