It is a wonderful day to say hello to you hoping our Lord is taking care of you! My name is Juana Elvira Gomez Gutierrez. I am 13 years old. I attend 4^th grade at school and I receive my classes on the morning shift. I usually help my mother with some chores. Let me tell you that my father left to the United States last year and he is working in a fish store; he cleans the fish and thanks to God, he sends us financial support. My mother stays busy with the chores at home and raises hens. We grow corn and black beans for our livelihood. I want you to pray for my parents’ health; my father has gastritis and my mother is diabetic. Both of them are taking medicines. Thank God, my sister and I are doing well.

What I like at the feeding program at christmas is the choreography and the games that the evangelism team prepares for all children. I am very thankful for the dental care and tasty food I receive in the program; it is a big help for me and as well to my family. Fried chicken is my favorite food from the program. We continue attending Catholic Church; my parents have welcomed Jesus into their hearts. My mother is part of the leaders’ team. This time my mother provided this information to the evangelism staff to share news with you about myself. I say goodbye to you for now. Many and abundant blessings over you!

Lots of love,

Juana Elvira Gomez Gutierrez
