Hello! My name is Carlos Grave Luis, and I am writing this letter to tell you how I am. I am 15 years old, and I am healthy. I stopped attending school this year due to our low resources. I now work as a day laborer, and I help to cover my family expenses. I like playing soccer on weekends. I have been blessed with a delicious lunch at the feeding program once a week, and I enjoy all the food prepared there. The Christmas celebration is one of my favorite activities at the program because of the games and presents.
I live with my parents who are in good health. My father works as a farmer, and he goes to pick coffee beans at the coast for two months at the end of the year. My mother spends her time at home doing all the chores. We raise cows, pigs and hens, and also grow corn and black beans; all this is for our consumption. We have Jesus in our hearts, and we attend the Catholic Church. LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue trusting in God, and we are grateful for their words. I tell you that my mom helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher, and she takes advantage to ask for prayers for our family. I end my letter wishing you the best.
Cordially yours
Carlos Grave Luis
