I greet you fondly, hoping you are enjoying your day. This is Kennyn, and it is a pleasure to share a little about my life with you. I attend a Christian Church called United Pentecostal. My family and I attend our services on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. My mother, Maria Garcia, is 32 years old. She works as a domestic employee until noon. We raise some hens for our consumption. Since my stepfather passed away, she has been the only one who supports me. However, money is not enough to cover all the expenses. Our priorities are food supplies, like beans and corn. So, I want to count on your prayers. Despite our lower economic situation, praise God, our health is in good condition. I am twelve years old, and I attend fourth grade. I like receiving face-to-face classes because I learn my lessons so much better. I want to continue studying because my dream is to become a professional, although I do not know if I will make a living as a teacher or fireman since I like both. My favorite time of the year is Christmas because of the flavored tamales. If I had the opportunity to learn a new language, it would be English; I hope to do it someday. I like celebrating birthdays, especially if it is mine. What I would like to have for my next birthday are gifts. My favorite drinks are water and fruit juices. Soccer is the most exciting sport, so I love it. This is all for now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter. May God bless you!
From the bottom of my heart,
Kennyn Enrique Garcia Garcia
