My Story

Hello! I send you special regards with much love and I hope you are doing very well together with your loved ones. I live with my mother, four sisters and one brother. My father traveled to the United States in February of this year. Fortunately, he is working, keeps in touch with us and sends us money to cover our home expenses.  It is just a little bit because he has to pay the debt for the trip. My mother does the household chores at home. Last year I did not pass my grade but this year I did my best to move to the next grade. This year I was repeating fifth grade and my favorite subject was mathematics.

My dream is to become a good bricklayer. My favorite sport is soccer. Now I go to work as a farmer or I gather firewood for other people. At home we celebrate our birthdays. Usually my mother cooks tamales (typical food) and buys a cake and our close relatives come to share with us. We attend Catholic Church and I like to hear the preaching. We ask for prayers from our brethren when we have some problem. I want to ask for your prayers for my family to be fine at home. I leave you for now and I hope to hear from you soon. May God bless you!

In Jesus name
