PENDING PHOTO 2025

This is Waltor Abel Israel Gutierrez Chingo, your friend, and I am so lucky to share my 2025 news with you. By the grace of the Lord, I am a healthy 8-year-old boy. What about you? I want you to know that passing kindergarten was one of the most pleasurable experiences in my life. I could feel God’s presence in my life at that time. Today, I am in first grade again. My best friend’s name is Esvin. I met him about two years ago at school. We have a lot of fun playing soccer during recess. Now, let me tell you a little about my family. I am glad because everybody is healthy.  

I identify with my father because he is a hardworking man who does his best for my siblings and me. He makes a living as a day laborer and farmer. I usually help him gather firewood on weekends. My mom also does a great job as a housewife. Besides caring for our family, she sells edible herbs at the market on Sundays. I attend the Assembly of God Church. I am glad because Jesus is my Savior. I like getting involved at my church activities like the Thanksgiving celebrations. My family and I enjoy them so much. I will leave you now, but I want you to know that my mom and I were delighted to write this letter to you. Take care of yourself! 

Sincerely yours,  

Waltor Abel Israel Gutierrez Chingo
