Hello! My name is Jacob Joaquin, and I am writing this letter to tell you a little about my life. Thankfully, I am healthy, and I hope you are too. I am 11 years old, and I am in 5th grade this year. I lived a beautiful experience at my school because I won a soccer championship; I really love playing soccer. I felt afraid during the game, but God helped me with it and I could feel His presence.  I met Pablo one year ago, and we made friends; we see each other at the soccer practice. I love and identify with my father because he always plays with us and spends time with the family.  

For me, Jesus is my friend and heavenly father. As a family, we attend Jesus the good shepherd Church, and I love the children’s activities, Bible classes and youth services. The LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue persevering in our faith, and we are grateful for their words. Thankfully, my parents are both in good health, and they are working hard to cover our needs. They are working in Antigua Guatemala village. My father works as a garbage truck driver while my mother works as a maid. We are grateful for your support to LW Ministry. I say goodbye to you for now.  

With much love  

Jacob Joaquin Bala Otzoy
