My Story

Hello! It is a big pleasure to greet you through this letter. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you are having a lot of success in all aspects of your life. I am Fabian Gomez Coj, your adoptive child from Tunaja, Quiche. By the grace of the Lord, I am healthy. I am 11 years old. I love playing soccer with my friends. My best friend’s name is Jose Adrian Coj. I met him about three years ago. I want to share that my mother is grateful to the Lord because I am doing well at school. I am in fifth grade. She prays that my brothers and I learn all that we need to be prepared for our future.

I love and admire my mother because she is nurturing. To contribute to the expenses, she raises and sells chickens. My father is a good man who works hard to support our family. He makes a living as a farmer and a day laborer. As a family, we attend a Pentecostal Church. I have learned to trust in Jesus because He always protects us from evil. He is even the best friend I could ever have. The most engaging activity at church is the First Fruit presentation, so we enjoy it so much. Before saying goodbye, I want you to know that my mother helped me share all this information with LW, so you could hear about it. Until next time!

Sincerely yours,

Fabian Gomez Coj
