My Story

Hello! I hope you are receiving many blessings from God. My name is Kevin Danilo Perez Felipe, and I am nine years old. I am in the third grade at school, and I am receiving study guides to do at home. My mother goes to school every fifteen days and she receives my guides. I have to use whatsapp, so I have internet on the cellphone. The lack of face-to-face classes has affected me because it is difficult for me to understand the study guides. In my free time, I like to watch TV and play with my friends. I also do my homework. I missed attending the feeding program, the food and the bible classes, but fortunately, the program is open again, and I walk about fifteen minutes to attend it. My father covers the home expenses by working as a mason. I love my mother because she does the chores at home, and she works as a maid. We spend good time as a family when we have a dinner and talk about our day.

We have been celebrating Christmas in this pandemic time in our family, and we have been preparing ¨tamales¨ (typical dish). My family and I attend Foursquare Church which is located about twenty minutes from our house. My parents have the privilege to be deacons, and my brother Fernando is a teacher from the Sunday Church. Our church was closed for a time due to the coronavirus, and we missed attending because it is necessary to seek God. We live in a rented a house which is made of concrete block, tins sheet roof and concrete floor. We have running water and electricity. We have three rooms with a separate kitchen. Thank God, my family and I are healthy. The pandemic affected my family because they did not have jobs for a time, but fortunately, now we are stable. We received groceries from the feeding program which was a great blessing for us. I want to tell you that I personally gave this information about me. I send you many hugs with much love.

In Jesus name,

Kevin Danilo Perez Felipe
