My Story

Hello! Padrinos how are you? I greet you in the name of Jesus and I hope you are doing fine.  I want to tell you a little about my family and me through this little letter. About me: I am Santiago Mardoqueo Calachij Gomez and I am 12 years old. I am a healthy boy. I am in 5^th grade at school this year and I go to study in the mornings. I help my father by carrying firewood on weekends.  LW has blessed my family and my life through the delicious meals for lunch like the fried chicken that I love eating. I enjoyed every special activity during the Christmas celebration at the Feeding Center in December. My family is grateful for every benefit that I have received from the Ministry.

About my family: My mother`s name is Martina Gomez Ruiz. She lives with us; she does chores at home and takes care of the family. As you know, she tends her small grocery store in order to support our financial needs. In addition, she raises hens, pigs and cows to sell and for our consumption. She is in good health. She accepted Jesus in her heart twenty years ago. My father`s name is Eulalio Calachij Ruiz. He lives with us. He is in good health. Nowadays, he continues working as a farmer in order to provide for family expenses. Moreover, he grows corn and beans for the family. He accepted Jesus in his heart twenty years ago.  As a family, we are attending the Church of Christ many years ago. I ask for your prayers for my family. I hope you enjoy my letter and thank you for sponsoring me. I love you so much! (My mother provided this information to the Evangelism teacher)

Huge hugs,

Santiago Mardoqueo Calachij Gomez
