Lencho is the main character in the short story "A Letter to God" by the Mexican author Gregorio López Fuentes. He is a hardworking, rural farmer who lives in a small village. Lencho is depicted as a man with strong faith in God and a deep sense of perseverance.
Despite the challenges he faces, including poverty and harsh weather conditions, Lencho is unwavering in his belief that God will help him. After his crops are destroyed by a hailstorm, he writes a letter to God, requesting money to replant his fields. Lencho is portrayed as humble, determined, and trusting in divine intervention, though his faith in human beings (like the postman and others who help) is somewhat lacking. His character highlights themes of faith, hope, and human resilience in the face of adversity.
