My Story

Hello! My name is Elias Isaac, and I am writing this letter to tell you a little about my life and family. I want to start it asking for your prayers for my mother’s life since she continues having problems with one of her breasts. She is under a medical treatment, and soon, she will have another check-up at a public hospital. In spite of this, she continues working with my stepfather to cover our needs. My stepfather, Jose Manuel, is a shoe maker, and he has his own small business. At the moment, he has not had much work, so he is struggling to support the family.

At the moment, we are not members of a church, but we are attending services in a house on Saturdays. LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to seek God, and we are grateful to them for always being attentive to us. I tell you that I am helping my stepfather to make shoes, and he gives me some money for it. I identify a lot with him because he has taught me to go ahead in life and also gives me good advice; he loves me a lot. I have a friend named Emerson, and we like talking and playing soccer. A beautiful experience for me was to see how sea turtles were freed; I was very happy for it. It is a great blessing to see God’s creation. For me, Jesus is my Savior and my everything. This is all for now. May God bless you!

Cordially yours

Elias Isaac Castillo Lorenzana
