My Story

Hello! I send you and your family many greetings. Thank God, we all are in good health. I want to share with you a little about my life. My father works as a farmer and he also goes to cut sugar cane at the coast for two months. My mother is a housewife and she weaves typical clothes to sell. Sometimes she goes to pick coffee beans for other people in our town and she contributes with the home expenses. I am attending school. I am in the 3^rd grade and I am not repeating my grade. My favorite subject is mathematics because I like to add.

I help my mother to gather firewood, so she can cook our food. For Christmas, we have the custom to prepare ¨tamales¨ (typical dish) and we burn firecrackers at midnight. When I grow up, I would like to find a job like my father and help my family economically. I like to watch TV programs in my free time. We attend Catholic Church. I like to attend the church services and learn about God´s Word. I ask for your prayers for my family so that God blesses us. Take care of yourself. I say goodbye to you for now with much love. May God bless you!

Hugs and Kisses,

Jose Magnor Lindo Morales
