I fondly greet you in the name of Jesus. My full name is Marco Leonel Mencho Solarez, and I hope you are doing well. Thankfully, I am a healthy 14-year-old boy. I love food, so it is difficult to say what it is my favorite. As for school, let me tell you that I am in eighth grade and receive classes on the morning shift. On weekends, I enjoy playing soccer with my friends on the field. I am grateful to LW-Adopt A Child for blessing me with delicious food. The staff works hard to help others and that catches my attention. It would be engaging to be part of the team as a collaborator. Christmastime is one of my favorite celebrations because of gifts. I appreciate the LW staff and missionaries because they give me a special gift every year.  

Now, let me tell you a little about my family. My father is doing well, thanks to the treatment that he takes to control his diabetes. People know he is a good tailor, so they look to him to repair clothes or to make new clothes. Luckily, my mom still works in the quality control area in a textile factory. Her health condition is also stable. I attend a Christian Church alongside my mom. She has faithfully gone there since she was 8 years old. A teacher of the LW evangelism team shared the gospel with my mom and me while he collected all this information for you. We appreciate that he took the time to talk with us about Jesus. It is time to say goodbye, but I hope to tell you more about my life soon.  

Special regards,  

Marco Leonel Mencho Solarez
