Hello! I hope you are fine. This is Encarnacion Melisa, and I am writing you to tell you a little about my life. I am happy because I am in 4th grade this year. Soon, I will be 10 years old. For me, Jesus is my Heavenly Father. I attend church with my family, and it is called “Spring”. We love it when it when we celebrate a Thanksgiving Service for the Harvest. I identify a lot with my mother, and I like the way she is. She helped me to make this letter.  

My father works as a farmer and day laborer. Please keep him in your prayers because he continues having health issues. He suffers from convulsions, and we have not been able to take him to a private doctor due to our low resources. He has visited the health center, but the medicine has not worked; at the moment, he is not taking medicine. It is hard for me to see him with this condition. My mother is doing her best to support my father financially. She is working as a day laborer and raising hens for selling. I end my letter hoping you find it interesting.  

With much love 

Encarnacion Melisa de la Cruz Garcia
