My Story

This is Rony Venegas Martinez, and I am pleased to write this letter for you. Before sharing my news with you, I want to tell you that my adoptive parents helped me provide all this information to LW. Thankfully, I am a healthy 12-year-old boy. I am enrolled in sixth grade this year. Being in the last year of elementary school makes me so happy. I am grateful to the Lord for giving me the wisdom to learn what I need to advance in my education. My best friend’s name is Genesis. I met her about three years ago. We like talking and going to the church together. My family and I are members of a Christian church. I like hearing sermons because I can learn so much about Jesus. Today, I am sure to say He is my faithful friend.

Now, let me tell you about my family. I identify with my mom because she is loving and cares for me. She is a great housewife. She suffers from low blood pressure, but drinks tea to mitigate the issues of her illness. My father makes a living as a carpenter. He is under treatment to control his diabetes. He buys his medicine in a state pharmacy. There have always been ups and downs, but my brother Cristhian and I are so happy to live with wonderful people whom we can call our parents. That is a great blessing from the Almighty. See you later!

With many blessings,

Rony Venegas Martinez
