My Story

I greet you in Jesus’ name hoping you are doing well wherever you are. I am writing this small letter to tell you a little about my family and me. I am fine and healthy, but last year, my siblings and I got sick from dengue; we were sick for two weeks. I am sure God healed me and helped us to go ahead. Jesus is my friend, and He has been with me in every moment of my life. I am attending school, and I am in 6^th grade this year. Wilson is one of my friends, and we like playing soccer together. I turned 12 years old last February.

I always help my mom with the household chores, and she is the person with whom I identify most. She raises hens, but they are only for our consumption. She is suffering from headaches, but she cannot take medicine because she is pregnant; there will be a new member in the family! I tell you that my father is working in another department, and he communicates with us twice or three times a week. He is working as a farmer there, and he comes to visit and bring us economic support every month. We are attending Liberty Church, and we love the thanksgiving services every year. Our faith is in Jesus, and we are secure in our Salvation. Well, this is all for now. I hope to have news from you soon.

Sincerely yours

Marlon Alexander Toj Perez
