My Story

Hello? This is Aurelio, and I am writing this letter to tell you a little about me. I am 12 years old, and I am in 4th grade; this is my third time in this grade, and I hope to pass it this year. It is difficult for me to pay attention in classes and do my homework. I have a friend, Eliseo Gutierrez, and we like playing soccer; I met him 5 years ago. I love and admire my father because he is a good worker. I tell you that my family and I are so happy because there is a new member in the family; she is my niece named Dayana. God blessed us with her life, and we are grateful to Him for that; she is in good health.  

We live in Xejox village, and my parents support my siblings and me. My father works as a farmer and day laborer; he does not have a stable job, so he works 3 or 4 days per week. My mother is a weaver, and she also raises some hens for selling. Thankfully, they are both healthy. Jesus is my Savior, and I look for Him at church. My family and I are members of Church of Christ, and we love it when thanksgiving services and the anniversary are celebrated. We are secure in our Salvation. In this occasion, my sister-in-law, Juana, helped me to give my information to the Evangelism team. I hope you find my letter interesting.  

Warm greetings  

Aurelio Ruiz Mendez
