Hello! My name is Julian Emanuel, and I am writing this letter to tell you how I am. I am 16 years old, and I am well, except for my vision. I have been having problems, but I have not visited an ophthalmologist due to our low resources. This year, I am repeating 9th grade, and I am studying on Saturdays. In my free time, I help with the household chores. I sometimes work as a shoemaker. I love playing soccer on Sundays. I have been blessed with grocery bags and medical attention at the feeding program, and there, my favorite dish is chicken with potatoes. The Christmas celebration is one of my favorite activities at the program; especially the lunch served for that special occasion.  

I tell you that my father no longer lives with us since the beginning of this year, and we have not had any kind of communication with him. On the other hand, my mother continues working hard as a maid to cover our needs. There have been days that there is nothing to eat at home, but as I told you before, my mom is struggling for us. At the moment, we are not attending a church due to the lack of time, but we hope to do it soon. We are grateful to the LW Evangelism team because they have taken the time to share the gospel with us. I tell you that my mom helped me to give this information to the team, and she takes advantage of this to ask for your prayers for our daily provision and spiritual life. I end my letter wishing you the best.  

Warm greetings  

Julian Emanuel Najera Lemus
