It is a joy to write this letter to share a little about my life with someone kind and special just like you. My full name is Maynor Ruiz Toj and I am 7 years old. Before telling you more about myself, let me tell you that my mom helped me to give all this information to a member of the LW evangelism team. Fortunately, I am in good health. I am a first-grade student, so I attend school on the morning shift. Now, let me tell you a little about my family. Thankfully, everybody is doing well. My father makes a living as a farmer, day laborer, and grows corn for our consumption. Unfortunately, he has some problems with alcohol. Please pray for him. As for my mom, let me tell you that she keeps busy cleaning our home and raising domestic animals. She sells our domestic animals to earn an income. On weekends, I have a lot of fun playing with my siblings while we shepherd our goats.  

We do not attend any church, but I hope we can do it soon. My mom and I listened to the gospel recently, thanks to a teacher of the LW evangelism team. The teacher also encouraged us to seek the Lord's involvement. Her words were a big blessing for us. My siblings and I are glad to be part of LW-Adopt A Child. Having warm and delicious food for free at the feeding program is a blessing. The food that I enjoy the most is fried chicken. We also enjoy celebrating Christmas at the project because the staff organizes engaging games and gives nice gifts. I will leave you now, but if you want to hear something else about my life, feel free to ask me. See you later! 

Kind regards,  

Maynor Ruiz Toj
