My Story

This is a good opportunity to greet you and send you every kind of blessing! I am Gerardo Maximiliano Garcia Ruiz and I am blessed because Jesus is my savior and he forgives my sins. My family and I belong to the Prince of Peace Christian Church and we participate in the thanksgiving service for our first crops. We also offer vigils and prayers to God and LW team encouraged my older sister to continue seeking God. She is assured of her salvation and she helped to collect this information during the visit. Her name is Devora Garcia.

I am thankful to God because my parents and my whole family are enjoying good health. My father`s name is Carlos and my mother`s name is Estela. I enjoy a nice time with my father and I admire him. He continues working in his tuk-tuk by transporting people in our village to sustain our family. My mother Estela is tending her own grocery store and she does the household chores. They are doing their best for our well-being.

Thankfully, I am studying the second grade this year. I am a ten-year-old boy and I am thankful to God for my life. When I celebrate my birthdate, I feel so glad because he gives me a new year and he always watches over me. It is a good experience for me and I feel his presence in my heart. Otoniel is the name of my best friend and we like to play soccer when we are together. We spend a nice time together and we have been friends for several years. Well, this is all for now, but I hope you enjoy my letter. Have a nice day!

Huge hugs,

Gerardo Maximiliano Garcia Ruiz
