My Story

Hello! I am so happy to greet you by this letter. I want to tell you my family and I attend Methodist Church, and we go twice per week. We have already accepted Jesus in our hearts. My mother is Magdalena and she is 32 years old. She does the chores at home and raises pigs and hens. My father is Cesar and he is 38 years old. He makes a living by working as a bricklayer and fortunately, he has work all week. We grow corn and black beans for our consumption. Fortunately, we are in good health.

I am Melvin Joshan Cac Luis, and I am 13 years old. I attend 6^th grade and I receive classes at school. I like to study in this way because my learning is better, and it is easy to do the homework now. I appreciate the effort my parents do to support me at school. The English language catches my attention, and I would like to learn how to speak it. Later, I would like to be a bricklayer like my father. Of all beverages, my favorite is coffee. The sport I like the most is basketball. I like spending time alongside my family, and at Christmas time, we have a special lunch. On my birthday, I like to eat a cake, and my parents do the possible to buy it for me; they make me feel special. I hope to receive news from you soon. Many and rich blessings on you!

Lots of love,

Melvin Joshan Cac Luis
