My name is Angelica Marleny Jorge Ortiz, and I am glad to share my updated information with you. I am 9 years old and fortunately, I am a healthy girl. My favorite pastime is playing soccer with my friends. As for school, let me tell you that I receive classes as a third grader on the morning shift. I like having delicious food at the feeding program. My favorite dish is fried chicken. I am glad and grateful to LW-Adopt A Child because I can receive medicine for free at the LW clinics. That is a great blessing for my whole family. We hope the Lord continues blessing this organization greatly.  

Let me tell you that my family and I have attended the Catholic Church for many years. My parents are sure about their salvation. None of us has privileges at church at the moment. My mom keeps busy with the housework and raising hens and pigs to sell in case of necessity. As for my father, I want you to know that he strives a lot to support our family economically. He works as a farmer and day laborer for our neighbors. He also grows corn for our consumption. Please pray for the health and provision of my family. In advance, thank you so much. To end this letter, I want you to know that LW-Adopt A Child organizes a Christmas party annually. What I enjoy the most is receiving a Christmas gift through the missionaries and staff. I say goodbye you now, but I want you to know it was a pleasure to write this letter to you. 

Special regards,  

Angelica Marleny Jorge Ortiz
