Hello! I am so happy to share my updated information with you through this letter. My full name is Edison Brayan Alexis Ventura Tino, and I hope you are doing well wherever you are. Fortunately, I am in good health. I am 10 years old, and this year, I was in third grade. I am already on vacation, so I use my time to play with my siblings. I want you to know that having medical and dental care at LW-Adopt A Child has been one of the biggest blessings for my family and me. Food is also a great help. I love having fried chicken for lunch at the feeding program. As you know, the LW staff organizes a Christmas party annually. What I enjoy the most of the activity are the Christmas carols and dramas.  

By the grace of the Lord, my whole family is in good health. My father traveled to the United States a few years ago. Currently, he works in a car wash to survive and support our family. I ask you to pray for him so the Lord keeps him healthy and safe. As for my mom, let me tell you that she does an extraordinary job as a housewife. She weaves typical napkins to sell. She also raises hens and pigs for our consumption or occasional sales. On weekends, she takes my brother and me to the Methodist Church. I am glad because she accepted Jesus as her Savior many years ago. A teacher of the LW evangelism team congratulated and encouraged her to continue persevering at church. The teacher used that moment to collect all this information so you could hear a little about my life. I say goodbye to you now, but I appreciate you reading my letter. See you later! 

Special regards,  

Edison Brayan Alexis Ventura Tino
