My Story

Special greetings to all of you! I am Jerson Orlando Otoy Guaran, and I hope this letter finds you blessed and prosperous. I am a healthy 14-year-old boy. I am in eighth grade. My best friend’s name is Omar. I met him about two years ago. We gather at school to play different instruments, like the trumpet. I kindly ask you to pray for my family, especially for my father. Unfortunately, he suffers from an ulcer in one of his eyes. This situation has impacted me, but I trust the Almighty Jesus will do a miracle in my father’s life.

I identify with my father because he is a strong and brave man. I admire him so much! He is a farmer, but has stopped working because of his health problem. By the grace of the Lord, he is already under treatment and attends his checkups. My mom is a housewife, and she is dedicated to taking care of my father and me. We are grateful to our relatives because they are helping us economically to cover our needs. My family and I do not attend church at the moment. Therefore, a member of the LW staff shared the gospel and encouraged us to seek the Lord. She also invited us to attend Liberty Church. I will leave you now, but I thank you so much for reading my information. I want you to know that my mom helped me share it with LW.

With gratitude,

Jerson Orlando Otoy Guaran
