My Story

What a blessing and privilege to greet you through this letter and at the same time to share some news about my family and me with you. My name is Oliver, and praise God, my parents, siblings and I are in good health, I am 10 years old, and I want to be really honest with you; I am repeating 3^rd grade this year because I do not like to do homework, but my father encouraged me to struggle myself, and we are praying to God so I can pass my grade this year. I think my brother Eldy as my friend because I like to play with toy cars with him.

 Thankfully, my father works so hard to cover our needs; he is a farmer, and he also raises cows, hens and pigs to earn extra money. I admire my father a lot because he is a hardworking man and I like to go with him to work. My mother is a housewife and takes care of us; besides that, she contributes with our home expenses by selling “Granizadas” (shaved ice with different flavors on top) and slices of fruits in bags at the plaza. We are still members of Prince of Peace Church, and one of the special activities we have here that I like to attend the most is our Thanksgiving service for the family. I love Jesus and for me He is my best friend and the one that always takes care of my family. This is something I want to tell you, and all this information was provided by my father. I will be waiting to hear from you soon, and I send you many blessings from our Almighty God.

Lots of Love,

Oliver Danilo Ajqui Tzoy
