My Story

Hello! how are you? I wish you all the best in this beautiful day. This is Jefry Armando Coton Lopez and I want to tell you that my grandfather was sick and bedridden. Unfortunately, he passed away and I saw him the last seconds before he rested in peace. It was a sad experience for me, and it has been very difficult to get over and forget his image and his death. I ask the Lord for strength and I believe that he is comforting my heart with his presence and love. I would like to ask for your prayers for me. I believe in God and Jesus is my heavenly father. I continue attending the Catholic Church called Santa Ana along with my family. We enjoy the mass. LW teacher shared the gospel with my maternal aunt Julissa Lopez and we always trust in God that he is with us through hard and difficult times. He has provided for our needs and his hand of love is upon us.

My mother`s name is Heidy Alejandra and currently, she is working as a cook. I would like to ask for your prayers for her because she continues suffering from diabetes. She is under medical treatment at the social security insitute from Guatemala and she is taking her medicine to be stable. My father is a blacksmith. Both of my parents are doing their best for our well-being. I am studying the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade at school. I am a healthy nine year old boy and my best friend`s name is Lester. We like to spend the recess time from classes together. I met him one year ago. I admire my aunt Julissa because she has taken care of me since I was born. I have a good emotional connection with her. Well, this is my updated information. I hope you like to read it. Blessings to you!

In Jesus`s name,

Jefry Armando Coton Lopez
