My Story

First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. My name is Kendel Alexander, and I want to share my news with you. I hope you are doing well. My family and I attend an Evangelical Church on Wednesdays. We trust Jesus is our savior. My father’s name is Rene Morales Riz, and he is 34 years old. He makes a living as a farmer, although his job is unstable. My mom is a housewife who dedicates her full time to our family, especially to my youngest brother. He is about eighth months old. Fortunately, my family is in good health. In my case, I suffer from gastritis, but I am under medical treatment. As a needy family, our priorities are groceries, especially corn and beans. We also need hygiene supplies like soap. We have hens, turkeys, and pigs for sale to get an extra income.

I am 12 years old, and this year, I attended third grade again. Learning is a little difficult for me, so I prefer to receive face-to-face classes next year, if God’s willing. Because of a lack of money, my parents had trouble covering my school supplies. I want to continue studying to become a policeman. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers for me. My favorite holiday is Christmas because I love burning firecrackers and spending time with my family. I like drinking banana shakes, and playing soccer. When my birthday comes, I love having a delicious cake and receiving gifts. To end this letter, I want you to know that LW is a blessing for my family and me because of food and medicines. Besides that, let me tell you that my mom helped me to give all this information to a teacher of the LW evangelism team to update you about my life. I say goodbye to you for now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

With much love,

Kendel Alexander Morales Garcia
