My Story

Hello! My name is Joshua Ricardo Lopez Tecun, and I am glad to share a little about my life with you. I am 13 years old. I was diagnosed with myopia. As a result, I must change my glasses prescription every six months. Nowadays, I am doing well. I am in seventh grade and attend classes in the morning. On weekends, I enjoy playing soccer, practicing karate, and playing video games. LW has blessed me with food, medical and dental care. I love having a special lunch at LW Christmas party. I also like having pepian (typical Guatemalan casserole) and fried chicken at the feeding program. I would like to serve at LW someday.

As for my family, let me tell you that everybody is healthy. We have attended Liberty Church for many years. I accepted Jesus as my Savior three years ago, but unfortunately my father has not yet. He makes a living as a mechanic and blacksmith. My mom also works hard by doing the household chores. She accepted Jesus about 20 years ago. We have three dogs and two turtles as pets. We also grow our tomatoes, cucumbers, and celery in small pots. My mom appreciates that a teacher from LW shared the gospel with her. It happened when the teacher was collecting all this information for you. I say goodbye to you for now, but I would love to count on your prayers for my life and the healing of my sight. Thank you so much in advance!

Sincerely yours,

Joshua Ricardo Lopez Tecun
