My Story

First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. My name is Suzana, and I hope this finds you doing well. Before continuing with this, let me tell you that my mom and I gave all this information to a LW teacher to share a little bit about my life with you. We are grateful to him for sharing the gospel and encouraging us to look for the Almighty since we do not attend a church yet. Fortunately, we are all in good health. My stepfather is Camilo Morente Ajqui, and he is 52 years old. He makes a living as a farmer and day laborer. My mom is Maria Us Ajqui, and she is 32 years old. As a housewife, she keeps busy doing the chores and raising our hens and pigs. We work hard together by growing corn for our consumption. We are a family with low economic resources. Some of our needs are groceries and clothes.

Now, I want to tell you more about me. I am 13 years old, and this year, I was in fifth grade. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because I enjoy attending school. I would love to do many things when I am older. Some of them are to travel to the United States and speak English. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers for me. I love Holy Week because I enjoy visiting engaging places with my family. I like drinking Coca-Cola, and my favorite sport is soccer. There are many things that you can do for celebrating birthdays. In my case, I love having a delicious barbecue. To end this letter, I want you to know that many needy children like me have been blessed with delicious food at the feeding program. We are deeply grateful to God for this project. I will leave you know, but I hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself!

From the bottom of my heart,

Suzana Juana Us Ajqui
