My Story

Hello! It is a big pleasure to greet you through this letter. My name is Kevin Adan Morente Riz, and I just turned 14 years old. I am in seventh grade this year. I am excited because this is a new stage in my education. The school is almost one hour from where I live. I usually walk to get there. I am not afraid of anything because I know God’s presence is with me all the time. If you ask me who Jesus is to me, I will say He is God. I identify with my mom because I spend time with her after school. I like helping her work. She is healthy and weaves typical clothes to contribute to the household expenses. My father does not live with us because he works in the city. He is healthy and has a job in a candy factory called Colombina. His work consists of delivering the product to different stores. He works hard for two months, and then, he has a few days to spend with us at home, which makes us happy. My family and I are members of a Christian church called Prince of Peace. We enjoy attending the services, especially the First Fruit presentations. I want to share that my best friend’s name is Henry. We became friends many years ago. We get together to hang out or play soccer. Thank you so much for reading my information! I hope you found it engaging.

Sincerely yours,

Kevin Adan Morente Riz
