I greet you affectionately; I hope everything goes well with you, and it is a privilege for me to be able to share with you how everything is with my family and me. My name is Elmer Antonio Marroquin Gonzalez. I am in good health condition, and I am 12 years old. I am a 5th grader, and I attend classes in the morning and do my homework after school. Something that I like to do is to spend time with my family on weekends. It is a blessing for me to be part of the feeding program because they bless me with food and free medicine when I am sick. My favorite meal is fried chicken; what I like most of the Christmas celebration at the feeding program is when I receive my gift and the delicious snack they give us during this activity.   

My mother is a hardworking woman, and she struggles to cover our needs; now, she is earning a living by selling food from Monday to Friday. We raise ducks to have as pets at home, and we are not able to cultivate because we do not have enough space at home. On behalf of my family, I need you to pray for us, so God keeps us healthy and pray for provision for my family. Even though my mother accepted Jesus in her heart some years ago, we are not members of any Church now. The Evangelism teachers shared the Gospel with my mother while she was providing this information, but she did not take any decision. I trust in God that He will work in our lives and hearts. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter; I wish you the best in everything you do. May God bless you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.   

With much love, 

Elmer Antonio Marroquin Gonzalez
