My Story

I send you warm greetings hoping you are doing well. My name is Esdras Emanuel Bucu Callejas, and I am 14 years old. I am in 8^th grade and I am receiving study guides every 15 days. This study method has affected me because I sometimes do not understand the guides since they do not have a good explanation. We do not have internet at home, so we have to buy an internet plan on the phone when necessary. I was missing the feeding program, but I am happy now because it has opened its doors again. I have to walk for 20 minutes to arrive to the program. My father has started to have communication with us and helps us a little financially. My mother earns a living by tending her own plant nursery. Due to the pandemic, the sales are not so good, and we have had to go ahead with the lower income.

We spend time as a family on weekends. We are members of Jesus is coming soon Church, and it is located 15 minutes from our house. We have been spending Christmas at church. My mother and I sometimes have the privilege to sing the praises in the services. We live in a rented house which has two rooms; we use one room as a kitchen too. The house is made of tin sheets with a dirt floor, and it has running water and electricity. I am grateful to God because my family and I are in good health. Please keep us in your prayers. My mother helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher to let you know about my life.

Yours truly

Esdras Emanuel Bucu Callejas
