Hello! I hope you are fine together with your loved ones. I am Gabriel, your sponsored child. I am happy to send you this letter with my personal information; my mom helped me to give it to the Evangelism team. I am healthy, and I have the chance to attend LW clinics when it is necessary. I am 16 years old, and I am in 5th grade again this year; I study in the morning. I help to gather firewood on weekends. I have been blessed with food at the feeding program, and there, my favorite dish is fried chicken. I also love the Christmas celebration at the program because I receive a present from you. 

My family and I live in Chuchuca town, and our house is near an Evangelical Church. My father is not part of my life, so my mother has to work hard to cover our needs. She weaves typical clothes for selling. We believe in God, and we attend Prince of Peace Church. LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue serving God, and we are grateful for their words. We raise pigs and hens, and we also grow corn and black beans; all this is for our consumption. I would like to end my letter asking for your prayers for my family and our well-being.  

Many blessings  

Gabriel Pastor Chingo
