Today is a nice day to greet you in the name of Jesus and also to share with you some information about my family and me. We are members of Prince of Peace Christian Church and I like to participate in every activity there. My mother is assured of her salvation in Jesus and she provided this information. She was encouraged to continue seeking God by the LW teacher during the visit.  

My name is Omar Eliseo Gutierrez Barrera and I am a 12 year old healthy boy.  I am studying the 5th grade at school this year.  I want to tell you that I had a nice experience in my life by passing my grade last year. I felt the presence of God because he helped me to achieve my goal.  For me, Jesus is my God. I admire my uncle Manuel because we work together in the corn fields and we have a nice time. My best friend is Aurelio and we play soccer. We have been friends since we were younger. 

Currently, my uncle Mariano Barrera is living and working in the United States. He is in good health, and he works in a restaurant. Sometimes, he sends us financial support, but my mother continues earning a living by weaving typical clothes along with some of her friends. She also raises hens to sell and get some extra income. Her name is Rogelia Barrera Morente. I am grateful because she is in good health and she lives with us and does her best for the being-well of our family.  I hope you like to read my letter and I send you all my love from the bottom of my heart! 

Lots of love, 

Omar Eliseo Gutierrez Barrera
