My Story

Hello! My name is Santiago Mardoqueo, and I am writing this small letter to tell you a little about me. I am in good health, and I am 13 years old. Classes are already over, so I am now on vacation. I am happy and grateful to God for letting me continue studying and pass all my grades; He has also helped me with my homework. This year, I was in 6^th grade. For me, Jesus is my faithful friend. I have two friends named Alex and Jorge, and I met them four years ago. When we meet, we like playing soccer and doing our homework together.

I identify a lot with my father because he is a good worker. He works as a farmer and day laborer, and he also has a small grocery store; he is our main provider. On the other hand, my mother works hard at home and raises hens for selling. Thankfully, they are both in good health. We are members of Church of Christ, and we love it when we celebrate the church’s anniversary because it is a very special activity. We have accepted Jesus in our hearts, so we are secure in our Salvation. Well, this is all for now. My mom helped me with this letter, and we send you our best wishes.

Sincerely yours

Santiago Mardoqueo Calachij Gomez
