My Story

Hello! I am sending you all my best wishes through this and thank you for taking the time to read my little story. My name is Yonathan Leonardo Barrera Barrera and I am thankful because my parents and I are doing fine and in good health. My father`s name is Jose and he continues working as a mason`s helper. Furthermore, he works as a day laborer for others and my mother Juana is doing the chores at home and raises hens for our consumption. I admire both of my parents because of their manner. I love their hugs. I want to tell you that my father is drinking alcohol and he spends the money for his vice. I would like to ask for your prayers for him. I am thankful to God because has been so faithful and good to my family and he always provides for our family expenses.

Jesus is my loving father and provider, and along with my family, we are attending the Christian Church. We celebrate the thanksgiving service for our first crops and I like to participate in activities for children. My mother helped to collect this information and she is assured of her salvation. She was encouraged by LW team to continue trusting in God. I am studying the second grade and I am an eight-year-old boy. My best friend`s name is Keydison and we like to play soccer together. We met a long time ago. Well, I will say good bye to you for now, but I would like to have your news soon. Thank you for blessing my life!

Strong hugs,

Yonathan Leonardo Barrera Barrera
