My Story

I greet you fondly, hoping you are having a fantastic day with your loved ones. I am Sabino Alexander, and I want to share my last news with you. I live with my parents and two younger siblings. We attend The Source of Life Church; we usually attend our services on Thursdays. My father, Jose Grave, is 34 years old. He traveled to the United States about three years ago. Nowadays, he works on a farm and sends us money to cover our needs. My mother, Lucia Mejia, is 32 years old. She dedicates her time to the household chores. Besides, she raises hens and pigs and grows corn and beans for our consumption. Thankfully, we are in good health. I am ten years old nowadays. I receive face-to-face classes as a fourth grader. I like this study method because I learn the lessons better at school.

I have heard people earn enough resources by working at the coast, so I would like to do it when I am older. In addition, I would like to learn how to speak English. My favorite holiday is Christmas because my family and I gather to celebrate that lovely time. I like drinking soft drinks and my favorite sport is soccer. My birthday was in June. I enjoyed it so much playing with my siblings; that is something that I love doing the most to celebrate my day. Now, let me tell you that my family and I are grateful to you for blessing my siblings and me with delicious food through LW. A teacher of the evangelism team spoke with my mother and shared the gospel with her. She also collected this information for you. Thank you so much for reading my letter! I say goodbye to you for now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

With many warm hugs,

Sabino Alexander Grave Mejia
