Hello! My full name is Luis Andre Noriega Velasquez, and it is a pleasure to tell you a little bit about my life through this letter. I am a healthy 11-year-old boy. I am in fifth grade and receive class on the morning shift. I will finish the school year soon. My favorite pastimes are watching TV. I enjoy attending the feeding program alongside my siblings because of the tasty meals. I feel excited when the LW staff serves fried chicken for lunch. The staff organizes a Christmas party annually. I like it so much because it includes engaging activities and the staff and missionaries provide a nice gift to each child at the end of the celebration. 

Now, let me tell you a little about my family. Thankfully, everybody is in good health. My parents work hard as teachers of primary and pre-primary school to afford food and other needs at home. I am glad because they will have vacation soon. We have a few cows at home for sale. A teacher of the LW evangelism team talked about Jesus with my father recently. She congratulated my parents because they welcomed Jesus into their hearts a few years ago. She also encouraged my whole family and me to continue persevering at church. We are members of the Catholic Church. I will leave you now, but I hope to hear from you someday.  

Best wishes, 

Luis Andre Noriega Velasquez
