My Story

My full name is Maximiliano Gomez Morente, and I am so happy to share a little about my life with you. I am 13 years old. Fortunately, I am in good health. I love playing soccer with my cousin, Isaias. We are good friends. Today, I am in sixth grade. I am grateful to God because I passed my grade last year. I was glad when my parents told me the good news. To celebrate that I had good scores, my parents took me to a nice place with pools called Xemap. I had a lot of fun! I am sure that was only possible thanks to Jesus, my faithful friend. I love learning about him at my church, Prince of Peace. The activity that my family and I enjoy the most at church is the anniversary celebration.

About my family, let me tell you that everybody is doing well. I admire and respect my father because he is a hardworking man. I sometimes help him with his labor in the field. He makes a living as a farmer and a day laborer. On the other hand, my mother is dedicated to weaving typical blankets to contribute to the expenses at home. Before ending this letter, I want you to know that my mother helped me share all this information with LW. See you later!

Affectionately,

Maximiliano Gomez Morente
