My Story

Good morning, everybody! It is such a blessing to write this letter to share with you a little bit about my life with you. I am Josefp Antonio Gutierrez Morales and I am 12 years old. I have had the privilege of enjoying delicious meals at the feeding program for about three years. What I like the most is praying after receiving Bible lessons. On behalf of my whole family, I give many thanks to LW-Adopt A Child for all the benefits that I receive. We pray that God continues blessing this charity organization for the social work they do in our town. I want you to know that I am in fifth grade and I like the hot weather because it is perfect to go to the pools. Could you please pray for me? I fractured my left hand some months ago after falling down at school. I still do not know if I will need a surgery, but my family and I pray that God puts his healing hands upon me.

Despite my condition, I do my best to contribute to the chores by putting away the shoes and making my bed. I live with my mother and older sister. My mother makes a living as a baby sitter and her health situation is going well, thanks to the medicine that she takes to control hypertension. My father does not live with my family and me, but he supports our needs. He is doing well and works hard as a messenger. About my spiritual life, I tell you that we do not attend any church at the moment. Therefore, brother Juan Carlos (a member of the LW staff) recently shared the gospel with my mother and me as an encouragement to look for God, which we appreciate so much. It is almost time to say goodbye, but I kindly ask you to pray for my whole family and me since everything has risen in price, and we are a family in need. In advance, thank you so much for your prayers and for taking the time to read my information!

Cordially yours,

Josefp Antonio Gutierrez Morales
