My Story

Hello! This is Josue Abraham Coj Ruiz, and I am writing this letter to tell you how I am. I am 9 years old, and I am well. Thankfully, I am doing a good job at school, and I am in 2^nd grade this year; I study in the morning. I do my homework and play on weekends. I have been blessed with medicine and lunches at the feeding program, and there, my favorite dish is fried chicken. Christmas celebration is one of my favorite activities at the program, especially the beautiful presents.

I live with my mother, but my grandparents take care of me when she goes out to work; their names are Rogelia and Basilio. My mom works as a day laborer in our town or at the coast for a whilte. We raise hens, and my grandparents bless us with corn and black beans, so we do not grow these crops. We attend the Catholic Church, and we are assured of our salvation. I tell you that my grandma helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher, and she took advantage to ask for prayers for our income and my mother’s care when she is not at home. I end my letter wishing you the best.

Cordially yours

Josue Abraham Coj Ruiz
