I send warm greetings for your family and you. My name is Nelson Yobani, and I am 14 years old. I tell you that my grandparents live next to us, and since they live alone, I go to sleep with them every night; but my parents cover all my needs. I no longer study, so I am working as a farmer and day laborer twice or three times a week. Five years ago, I got seriously ill, but my family prayed a lot for me and God healed me. Jesus is my faithful friend, and I have felt His presence in the difficult times. Since I am a little child, I like to spend time with my uncle Agustin, and it is nice to go out to gather firewood with him. I identify a lot with my father, and I love working with him.  

My parents are responsible people, and they are in good health. My father works as a farmer and day laborer while my mother works hard at home; she raises hens and sells them to improve our income. My paternal grandparents are Rosario and Mariano, and they are in their seventies. They are healthy, but there are times that they suffer from body pain due to their age; they only take pills to relieve the pain. As a family, we attend a Methodist Church, and we enjoy it when there is a First Fruit Service. My mother helped me to give my information to the LW Evangelism team, and she told them that we are secure in our Salvation. I thank you for taking the time to read my letter.  

Many blessings
