My Story

Dear Padrinos,

Hello dear Padrinos it is a pleasure to send you many greetings with much love and I hope you are enjoying the life with your family. I always remember you with much love and I keep your photo with me. I am 14 years old, I am attending third grade and I am improving my writing. At home I help my mother to wash the dishes, wash the clothes and other things. My father works as a day laborer and also, he travels to the coast to pick coffee beans so that he can cover our home expenses. My mother stays busy with the chores at home and at the end of the year she travels to work at the coast. I have ten siblings but only four of us attend the feeding program. My family and I celebrated Christmas with tamales (typical food) and we had a wonderful time together.

Thank you very much for your love and support of me in the feeding program, I enjoy the delicious food that I have every time and my favorite grilled chicken. Also, I like to attend the youth center on Tuesdays after the lunch, I learn a verse of the bible and some new praise. My favorite praise is “En Una Nube Blanca” “In a white cloud”, in a white cloud Christ will come back with power and glory will lift us up. Christ comes again and will take us with power and glory will lift us up. In the youth center I had met new friends there and we enjoy playing together, it is so fun. I am attending Church with my family, I love to hear the preaching and singing praises. I love you so much. Take care of yourselves and I hope to hear from you soon. May God bless always!

Kisses and hugs
