My Story

This is a good day to greet you cordially hoping you are receiving the blessings of God in your daily life. This is Dario Manuel Gonzalez Chingo and I am grateful with our Lord because I am in good health. I am 13 years old and I am a 6^th grader. The experience that has impacted my life is to only see my parents every six months, but I know that they are working hard and God gives me peace in my heart and I feel his presence too. I know that Jesus is the son of God even though I do not attend any church. LW team shared the gospel with my aunt Isabella during the visit and she was listening to the word of God. She is thinking about seeking a church. I admire her because she is a hardworking woman. She helped to collect this information. My best friends are Julio, Selvin and Byron. We met at school and we play soccer together.

My parents are a hardworking couple and they are doing their best for our well-being. As you know, they earn a living by selling fruits. Currently, they are living and working in San Marcos town, but thankfully, they visit us every 6 months and they stay at home for 3 days. After that, they return to San Marcos. They send money every fifteen days to cover our financial needs and my maternal grandmother takes care of us. Her name is Petrona Ruiz and she has taken care of us for three years. She also contributes to the home income by selling boiled corn on the cob. Thankfully my parents are in good health and they also call us every day. Well, I will say good bye for now, but I send you all the best wishes. Thank you for your attention!

Yours truly,

Dario Manuel Gonzalez Chingo
