Hello! How have you been? I am happy because I have another opportunity to write you about my family and me. I tell you that, recently, my father started to have communication with us, and he is now sending us money every three months. He is in the United States and works in a car wash there. My mother is a housewife, and she sometimes works as a farmer or gathers firewood to improve the income. She suffers from gastritis and is only taking natural medicine; she has not visited the doctor recently due to our low resources. My grandfather, Pedro, works in a cowshed, and he continues helping us financially. As a family, we attend Prince of Peace Church, and we love it when a thanksgiving service for the harvest is celebrated.  

I am repeating 3rd grade again, and I am doing my best to pass it this time. I am in good health, and I turned 11 in April. I have a friend named Jorge, and we like playing football; we met 4 years ago. I identify a lot with my mom because she takes care of me very well. One experience that has impacted my life has been going out to work with my mom. I am sure God has been with me and has helped me in every area of my life. For me, Jesus is my Savior. My family and I are secure in our Salvation, and LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue trusting in God. In this occasion, my grandmother helped me to give my information to the team, and I hope you find it interesting. I say goodbye to you for now.  

Many blessings
