My Story

Hello! I am Andrea Siomara Chiquiaj Grave, and it is a big blessing to greet you and share a little bit about my life with you. I hope you find this letter engaging. I am 9 years old, and fortunately, I am a healthy girl. I am glad because everything is running well at school. By the grace of the Lord, I am in third grade. I am sure that God helped me to do my best last year to learn all I needed to know. I want to share that I identify with my mother because I enjoy spending time with her after school. She is a great housewife and keeps busy taking care of my siblings and me. My father works hard as a farmer and a day laborer in our village to bring food home.

I love Jesus because my parents taught me that He died on a cross because of our sins. We are members of a Christian Church called Prince of Peace. We enjoy participating in all the activities at church because they are meaningful and engaging. Now, I want you to know about my best friend, Deysi Chiquiaj. She is my cousin, and we have gotten along wonderfully since we were young. We love playing with our dolls when we are together. It is time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that my mother and a member of the LW staff helped me write this letter. Until next time!

With love,

Andrea Siomara Chiquiaj Grave
