My Story

Hello! How are you doing? My full name is Nehemias Natanael Luis Toj, and I am excited to share a little about my life with you. I turned 7 years old in August, and I am in pre-primary school. I am still not able to write by myself, so my mother and a member of the LW staff helped me with this letter. I am a healthy boy and I made a good friend at school last year. His name is Yojan, and he loves playing soccer as I do. I want you to know that Christmas and my birthday are very important dates to me.

Now, let me tell you a little about my family. Thankfully, everybody is doing well. I like that my mother is always in a good mood, so I identify with her the most.  She keeps busy doing the chores and sells chickens to contribute to the expenses. On the other hand, my father works as a farmer and a day laborer to support our family. We attend the Catholic Church. There are engaging activities at church, but we enjoy taking part in the patron feasts and the anniversary of our temple the most. It is time to say goodbye, but I hope you found my information engaging. May God bless you!

Kisses and hugs,

Nehemias Natanael Luis Toj
