I greet you in Jesus’ name hoping you are doing well. This is Dimas Sifrian, and I am writing this letter to tell you a little about me. My family and I live in a small village called Chinimsiguan, except for my father who is abroad. My parents are healthy, and they do their best to cover our needs. My mother raises cows and pigs for selling, and she also does the household chores. My father works in a milk factory in the United States, and he communicates with us every week or fifteen days; he faithfully sends money for our needs.
I am a student, but I am repeating 2nd grade this year. I am in good health, and I am 12 years old. I met Armando at school, and he is a good friend for me; we like playing marbles in our free time. I identify a lot with my father, and he used to teach me how to do many things; I now only talk with him by phone. It was a very hard situation for me when my father left to go to the United States. My mother was patient with me, and she was consoling me. As a family, we are not attending a church, so an Evangelism teacher took advantage of this to share God’s Word with us. We paid attention, and we hope to take a decision soon. I hope to have news from you soon.
Yours truly
Dimas Sifrian Luis Grave
