Hello! I greet you cordially hoping you and your family are doing fine.  I hope you enjoy reading my updated 2024 information because I want to share with you some news about my family and me through this. First of all, I want to let you know that my family and I are grateful for every benefit that I receive from LW Ministries because it has been a great blessing for us.  

This is Carlos Manuel Rodriguez Gutierrez and I am 13 years old. I am a healthy boy. Unfortunately, I repeated the 2nd grade for a second time this year at school and I attended every morning. I want to tell you that it has been so difficult for me to learn my subjects. I spend my weekend gathering firewood. LW Ministries has blessed my family and my life through the free and delicious meals for lunch that they serve in the Feeding Center. I like to eat the fried chicken that they cook. I enjoyed receiving the gifts during the Christmas celebration in that place in December. 

I want to tell you that as a family we are attending the Prince of Peace Church. The LW teacher encouraged my mother to continue seeking God during the visit and she is grateful for the nice words and is assured of her salvation. My mother`s name is Margarita Gutierrez Simaj. She lives with us and she is a housewife. She accepted Jesus in her heart a long time ago. She is a healthy woman. My father`s name is Luis Rodriguez Gutierrez. He lives with us and he provides for our family expenses by working as a day laborer and farmer. In addition, he grows corn and black beans and some herbs to sell and get some income.  I would like to ask for your prayers for health and provision for our whole family. This is all for now and I send you many blessings! (My mother provided this information to the Evangelism teacher) 

Huge hugs, 

Carlos Manuel Rodriguez Gutierrez
