My Story

Many warm greetings to you! My full name is Marvin Oswaldo Chen Chiquin, and I am glad to share my news with you through this letter. I am a healthy 18-year-old boy. I am in eleventh grade at high school. I am glad because this is the second year of a commercial career to become an accountant. I attend classes at school in the afternoon. I have to do a lot of homework on weekends, although I try to rest and relax. What I enjoy the most is watching TV. My favorite food is hamburger patties and mashed potatoes. Let me tell you that my mom is a hardworking woman. She does her best to cover the expenses like the rent of our house and my education needs. She makes a living by cleaning houses and washing dishes at a place where they sell and make traditional food. She is not doing well because she suffers from itchy and fleshy eyes. She has not been able to go to the doctor because of a lack of money. So, please pray for her healing and provision for my family. At the moment, she is putting drops in her eyes thanks to good-hearted people who gifted this to her.

As for the church, let me tell you that we attend a Christian Church called the Lamb of God. We have attended for about seven years. Fortunately, my mom accepted Jesus when she was 15. I also did it when I was 10. We have seen the goodness and mercy of the Lord through LW and the staff. They have encouraged us to continue trusting in God. In addition, we received grocery bags during the pandemic. It was a great blessing for us! To end this letter, let me tell you that the first time that I celebrated Christmas at the feeding program was cheerful. I say goodbye to you now, but thank you so much for reading my information.

Cordiality yours,

Marvin Oswaldo Chen Chiquin
