My Story

Hello! I hope my letter finds you in good health. I am Elder Saul Mixiya Fajardo, and I am now 22 years old. I am a boy with special needs, so I do not work out of home. I was studying last year but I stopped this year. I keep at home. I am happy because the feeding program opened its doors again; I really missed the Bible classed there. I have to walk for about 10 minutes to arrive to the feeding program. My father works as a farmer and supports us in every way he can. My mother dedicates her time to take care of the family and do the chores. She cooks with firewood, and we hope to buy her a stove someday. We spend time together during dinner and talk about many things. It is not a tradition for us to celebrate Christmas; it is a common day for us.

My family and I attend God is Love Church which is located about 10 minutes from home. When it was closed, we missed meeting with our brethren. We are living in our own house, and we are sharing it with my brother’s family; it has two rooms and one kitchen. The house is made of concrete blocks with a tin sheet roof and concrete floor; it has running water and electricity services. Rainy season is hard for us because the water comes into our rooms since the tin sheets are very damaged. I am grateful to God because my family is healthy. My mother gave this information to one of the Evangelism teachers to tell you about me.

Sincerely yours

Elder Saul Mixiya Fajardo
