My Story

I greet you with much love hoping you are doing well wherever you are. I am Paola Alejandra, and I want to tell you a little about my family and me. I am a healthy girl, and I am 10 years old. I have been attending the feeding program for 3 years, and I like the Bible classes because the teachers prepare some games for us.  My parents attended the program when they were younger, and they say that the activities were funny because they spent time with other children. That is why they felt free to registere me at the program. I am in 4^th grade this year, and after classes, I sweep and wash the dishes and my clothes. We are in winter season now, but I prefer the summer because I like going to aquatic places.

My family and I pick coffee beans for three months once a year in order to earn some money. My grandparents and their children live with us, and my uncle, Brandon, helped me with this letter. My maternal grandfather, Jose Francisco, works as a mason, and he covers my family expenses. My mother works hard at home and takes care of me. I do not have any kind of communication with my father. We are members of the Catholic Church, and I like attending the Holy Week processions. God has the last word, and He is the only one who knows if we will enter His kingdom someday; we need to have a good communication and relationship with our Lord. I would like to end my letter asking for your prayers for my family so that God always takes care of us.

Kisses and hugs

Paola Alejandra Lopez Jerez
