My Story

My name is Yefferson, and I am glad to share some of my last news with you through this means. I hope you find it engaging. At the moment, my family and I do not attend any church. A teacher of the LW evangelism team spoke with my mother and advised her to look for the Almighty. He also collected this information for you. My mother, Sulma Paz, is 23 years old. She works as a domestic employee to help my father with expenses. My father, Wilmer Coc, is 25 years old. He does his best as a bricklayer to support our family. Fortunately, he is as healthy as my mother. Nowadays, our needs are groceries. I turned nine years old in April. Luckily, I am healthy. What I love the most is having a delicious cake to celebrate my birthday with my family. I am in third grade.

I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because I learn so much better when I attend school than working alone at home. Fortunately, my parents have not had issues covering my school needs. I would love to become a policeman and speak English when I am older. Therefore, I would like to count on your prayers for me and my future. The summer season is my favorite. I love eating ice cream and granizadas (shaved or crushed ice combined with syrups, fruits, condensed milk, and honey if it is sweet. It also can contain lemon juice, salt, and tamarind, if it is salty). I love drinking Coca-Cola and my favorite sport is soccer.  To end this letter, I want you to know the feeding program is a tremendous blessing for my family and community. I say goodbye to you for now but do not forget that I appreciate all you do to bless us through this project. See you later!

Sincerely yours,

Yefferson Josue Coc Paz
