I greet you with much love, and I pray God is pouring out many blessings upon you. My name is Jessica Karina, and I want to start my letter telling you about my family. Thankfully, my parents and siblings are in good health. My father works as a day laborer and farmer, and he also goes to work at the coast in different months of the year in order to cover our needs. I would like to ask for your prayers for him so that he always has a job. My mother does the household chores, looks after our domestic animals and weaves typical clothes when she has time. We have hens at home. We all attend the Catholic Church, and we are assured of our Salvation.  

We live in my paternal grandparents’ house, and my grandma has helped me to give my information to the Evangelism team; my parents and grandparents share the home expenses. We grow corn, and it is for the family consumption. I am 9 years old, and I am in second grade this year; I am studying in the morning. I help with the cleaning on weekends. I love eating all kinds of food at the feeding program, and I am grateful for the lunches, medicine and Christmas present I have received there. I really enjoy the Christmas celebration done for us at the program. Well, I close my letter wishing you the best and hoping to hear from you soon.  

Kisses and hugs
