My full name is Marlon Oswaldo Grave, and I am glad to greet you through this letter. First, I want to share that my mom and I provided all this information to LW just for you. I am in seventh grade this year. Luckily, I am a healthy 13-year-old boy. My best friend is my sister Ashly because we get along wonderfully. We enjoy attending the feeding program together. I have learned so much about Jesus. Therefore, I can say He is my Savior. I have felt His presence in my life. My family and I are sure we have overcome many challenges with God’s help. I want to open my heart and tell you that unfortunately, we had some problems with our relatives recently, so we had to move out to another place. The house where we used to live belongs to my grandmother. Today, we are living in a rented house. My mom makes and sells tortillas there. She also weaves typical clothes to earn extra money. I identify with my mom because she is hardworking and struggles to support my sister and me. I am glad because nobody in my family is sick. We like getting involved in all the activities at church, but our favorite one is the Lord’s supper. It is time to say goodbye, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my update. See you later! 

Huge hugs,  

Marlon Oswaldo Grave
