Hello! How are you? I pray that you are doing well wherever you are. I am Mely Roxana. I am 13 years old, and I am in good health. I tell you that I no longer attend school this year due to our low economic resources. I now keep busy helping my mother with the household chores, and in my free time, I embroider napkins. I have been blessed with medicine and lunches at the feeding program, and there, my favorite dish is fried chicken. I would like to become part of LW collaborators team in the future. The Christmas celebration is one of my favorite activities at the program, especially for the games and present.  

I only live with my mother because, sadly, my father has abandoned us. My mother is working as a maid every day in order to cover our needs. Thankfully, she is in good health. We raise hens for selling and eating, and we also grow corn and lemons for our consumption. We are not attending a church, so LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to seek God in one. I tell you that my mother helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher, and she takes advantage to ask for your prayers for our family. I say goodbye to you for now hoping to have news from you soon.  

Kisses and hugs  

Mely Roxana Morente Chen
