My Story

It is a wonderful day to say hello to you through this and I trust in God you are doing well! My name is Gregoria Toj Riz. I am an 11-year-old girl. At school, I am repeating 3^rd grade and I receive classes on the morning shift. I usually help my mother with the housework in the afternoon and on weekends. My mother does the chores and raises hens. My father makes a living by working as a gardener and he sends us financial support since he is still living in the United States. Thankfully, he is working and doing well. Additionally, we cultivate corn for our livelihood. My paternal grandma lives with us and she raises hens and sheep to sell and contribute to the expenses.

Let me tell you that the evangelism prepares a special Christmas activity in the feeding program; I love the carols and the games they prepare. I am so blessed to receive my meals in the program, and fried chicken is my favorite meal. We are not attending any church; this time a member of evangelism team shared the gospel with us and encouraged us to look for a church. Thank God, we all are fine. To end my letter, let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. I hope you enjoy my letter. May God bless you wherever you go!

Lots of love,

Gregoria Toj Riz
