This is Juan Rolando, and I am writing this letter to share about my life. I am a healthy boy, and I am 7 years old. I am already attending school, and I am in 1st grade. It has been a good experience to start studying, and I am happy for that. I have a cousin named Selvin, and we are also friends. I like being with my mother, and I accompany her to gather firewood. My family and I attend a Methodist Church, and we enjoy it when there is a First Fruit Service. 

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 live next to our house, and one of my brothers goes to sleep with them in order to keep them company. Their names 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. Please keep my whole family in your prayers. I hope you enjoy reading my letter.  

Many blessings  

Juan Rolando Elias Jimon de la Cruz
