My name is Olga Marina Gomez Luis, and it is a great privilege to tell you a little about my life through this letter. I am 15 years old. Fortunately, I am healthy. I stopped attending school a few years ago. Today, I dedicate myself to helping my mom with the household chores. Now, let me tell you a little about my family. My father is doing well in the United States. He makes a living as a waiter and helps us economically. He phones us almost daily. On the other hand, my mom keeps busy preparing our meals and raising our domestic animals. She is also doing well. We have hens, turkeys, and pigs at home. We also grow corn for our consumption.
As for our spiritual life, let me tell you that we have faithfully attended the Catholic Church. My mom accepted Jesus as her Savior. I am glad because a teacher of the LW evangelism team congratulated my mom for being sure about her salvation. I am happy and grateful to be part of LW-Adopt A Child. If my siblings and I get sick, we can receive medicine for free at the LW clinics. My favorite food at the feeding program is fried chicken. I am excited because Christmas is getting close. That means I will receive a nice Christmas gift at the project soon. Well, it is time to say goodbye, but I thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter.
Affectionately,
Olga Marina Gomez Luis
