Hello! This is Elvia Marleny, and I am writing this letter to tell you a little about me, Thankfully, I am in good health, and I turned 9 in April. The family member with whom I identify is my mom, and I love how she cooks. I am studying, and I am in 3rd grade this year. I met my friend, Maria Isabel, at school, and I like walking to school and attending the feeding program with her. Jesus is my faithful friend, and He has been with me when I have needed him most. Sadly, my great-grandmother, Santos Garcia, accidentally passed away last March 24. God has been consoling us for our lost. She used to live near us.
My father is a farmer and day laborer, and he goes to pick coffee beans at the coast for three months twice a year. My mother is a housewife, and she raises and sells domestic animals to help with the income. Thank God, my parents are in good health. We are attending church, and I love attending the First Fruit Service which is celebrated at the beginning of the year. We are secure in our Salvation. I tell you that my mom helped me to write this letter, and LW evangelism team has taken this opportunity to encourage her to continue trusting in God. I say goodbye to you for now hoping to have news from you soon.
Yours truly
Elvia Marleny Benito Cuin
