I send you warm greetings hoping you are doing well. This is Luis Jose, and I want to tell you about my life through this letter. Let’s start with my loved ones. My parents are in good health. My father’s name is Luis, and he is 41 years old. He works as a truck driver to support us. My mother’s name is Clara, and she is 40 years old. She sells her plants in our town to contribute with the home income. We are a humble family, and our needs are groceries. We have one dog as a pet. We are still members of the Catholic Church, and we attend the mass on Sundays. Living Water is very important for me because I am blessed in a big way.
I live in Duenas town. I want to become a firefighter in the future, and I would like to learn English language someday. I am 16 years old, and I like eating cake on my birthday. My favorite sport is soccer, and I am healthy. I enjoy Christmas time because I share time with my family. I love drinking orange juice. I no longer attend school. Well, I end my letter wishing you the best, and I hope to have another opportunity to write you. May God bless you!
All the best
Luis Jose Garcia Quexel
