It is a great pleasure to write this letter to you. My full name is Michael Jesper Snaider Aguilar, and I am 14 years old. Thankfully, I am a healthy boy. I identify with my grandfather because he has taught me to work hard to accomplish my goals. Being in junior high school has been a meaningful experience. I am sure God’s presence is with me. Even though I have more subjects than in primary school, God has given me the wisdom to learn. He helped me to pass them last year. I am in eighth grade now. My best friend’s name is Daniel. We enjoy playing soccer and discussing our lives when we meet up.  

I am so happy because Jesus is also my friend. I attend a Christian Church called Sheep Shelter. I like getting involved in the youth meetings. At the moment, my mom does not attend church. She is healthy and works in the national tobacco company in the night shift. Her boss told her that she would only work from March to July. Therefore, I beg you to pray for a stable job for my mom. To end this letter, let me tell you that a member of the LW staff shared the gospel with my mom recently. She appreciates the time that he dedicated to our family. My mom took advantage of the opportunity to share all this information just for you. See you later! 

Cordiality yours,  

Michael Jesper Snaider Aguilar
