Hello! How have you been? I hope you are doing great. My name is Jenaro Garcia Ajqui, and I am writing this small letter to tell you a little about me. I am in good health, and I am 11 years old now. I am attending 3rd grade this year, and I am happy for passing my grades. I know that God has been helping me with it; I have been able to feel His presence in my life. I have a friend named Eduardo, and I like playing soccer with him; we have been friends for 4 years. I identify a lot with my father because he is so good with me.  

My family and I live in a place called Xejox. My parents are responsible people, and they do their best to cover our needs. My father works as a day laborer and farmer in our town, and he also goes to work in the coffee plantations at the coast for two months; there, he picks coffee beans or cleans the grown weeds. My mother is a housewife, and she raises hens and pigs for selling. My parents are both in good health. We know that we have a Heavenly father, but at the moment, we are not attending a church; we hope to do it in the future. This letter was possible thanks to my father’s help, and I hope you like it. May God bless you.  

Cordially yours  

Jenaro Garcia Ajqui
