My Story

I greet you in Jesus’ name hoping you are doing well. I am writing this letter to tell you a little about my family and me. I am Pedro Mejia Gonzalez, and I want to start with my family. We are of low resources, and currently, our needs are groceries. We are not attending a church, so LW Evangelism has shared the gospel with us. We have paid attention and we are grateful for their words. We have hens and cows at home, and we grow corn and black beans for our consumption. My mother’s name is Maria, and she is 23 years old. She traveled to the United States at the end of the last year, and she is now working on a farm there. She is covering the family expenses. My brother and I are now under the care of our maternal grandparents: Salvador Mejia and Santos Gonzalez.  He works as a farmer and day laborer, and she raises and sells domestic animals.

I now want to tell you about my dreams and personal tastes. I want to travel to the United States to be with my mother, and I would like to learn English. I prefer soccer as a sport, and my favorite drink is “mosh” (hot drink made from oats). I love Christmas time because I buy and light fireworks. I enjoy my birthday, especially when my family sings me birthday songs. I am healthy, and I am 7 years old. I am in 1^st grade, and I am happy to attend school in person because I can share with my friends. Thankfully, my mother is covering my studies. I happily attend the feeding program because I receive delicious food; Living Water is very important for me. I say goodbye to you for now hoping to have another opportunity to write to you.

All the best

Pedro Mejia Gonzalez
