My Story

My full name is Geovany Francisco Riz Luis, and it is a big pleasure to write this letter and share a little about my life with you. I am 14 years old, and I attend the fifth grade. I long to pass my grade with good scores, so I am doing my best. My mother is praying that my siblings and I have success at school. Please join her prayers. I am grateful to the Lord for having a nurturing and loving mother. She is a great housewife and does her best to help my father with the expenses. She raises and sells domestic animals.

My father works hard as a mason’s helper. He told me that Jesus is the Lord and our best friend. We attend the Prince of Peace Church. We enjoy learning about our Savior through the sermons. Our favorite activity at church is the First Fruit presentation. To end this letter, I want you to know that my brother Edy is my best friend. We have a lot of confidence in each other. We have a lot of fun playing soccer in our spare time. May God bless your life, keep you safe, and his grace shine on your mind and heart!

Sincerely yours,

Geovany Francisco Riz Luis
