My Story

It is a great pleasure for me to greet you by this means. I hope you and your loved ones are keeping well, and I wish you many blessings in everything you do. My name is Melvin, and I am glad to share with you my updated information through this letter. Thankfully, I am in good health. I am 12 years old, and I am a 6^th grader this year. I like to play soccer with my friend Erick, and we have been friends with for about two years. When I went to the zoo with my school for the very first time, it was a beautiful experience in which I could see God’s creation.  

Thankfully, my parents are in good health; my father struggles to cover our needs. He earns a living by working as a mason here in our town, and my mother works so hard at home, looking after us and doing the chores. I identify with my father because he always encourages me to go ahead at every moment. My family and I are attending the Catholic Church; the activities I like to participate in the most are patron saint festivities.  If you ask me who is Jesus for me, I can tell you with all my heart that He is our provider, and I love Him. I say goodbye to you for now, and I want you to know that all this information was provided by my mother. I hope you like my letter, and I will be waiting to hear from you soon.  

Many Blessings,

Melvin Leonardo Hernandez Lopez
