My Story

First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. My name is Esli Israel Chich Morente, and I want to share a little about my life with you. I am 13 years old. I am glad to attend school as a fifth grader. I have classes in the morning. On weekends, I help my brother-in-law to carry firewood to our house. Thankfully, my family and I are in good health. I want to ask for your prayers for our well-being and health. Sadly, my mother abandoned me many years ago; she has another family. She occasionally helps me economically. I live with my oldest sister and her husband. They support my needs and expenses. My sister dedicates her full time to weaving typical clothes to sell. My brother-in-law works in a grocery store. 

We grow corn and beans and raise hens for our consumption. My family and I have attended The Church of Christ for many years. I am glad because I also can listen to the gospel at LW. A teacher of the evangelism team shared it with my brother-in-law and me. That happened when we gave him all this information to share with you. LW has blessed me with delicious food like fried chicken. That is my favorite food. I like celebrating Christmas at the feeding program. The activity that I enjoy the most is receiving gifts. I say goodbye to you for now, but I send you cordial greetings. 

In the name of Jesus,

Esli Israel Chich Morente
