My Story

It is a pleasure for me to greet you through this letter, and I hope you are fine. I am Simion Alexander, and this is my history. I am in 2^nd grade, and I am 9 years old; my birthday is in September. Thank God, I am in good health. I have a friend named Jeyson, and I met him at school; we like riding bicycles in our free time. I spend most of my time with my mother, so she is the person with whom I identify most. I tell you that, in this occasion, my father helped me with this letter. I am grateful to God because my family and I have not passed through difficult situations; we have felt His presence in our lives. For me, Jesus is the one who died for our sins.

This is my parents’ situation. My father returned from the United States at the middle of the year, and he is now working as a day laborer in corn crops here in our village. He was having health issues, so he visited the doctor who told him that he has diabetes. On the other hand, my mother is a housewife, and she is also sick. She was attended by a doctor who told her that she has problems with her nerves; she was under a medical treatment but she could not see an improvement. Neither of my parents are taking medicine at the moment. I thank you in advance for your prayers. My family and I attend the Catholic Church, and we like taking part in the different activities done there. I end this letter wishing you the best.

Kisses and hugs

Simion Alexander Luis Calel
