My Story

My name is Luis Pedro, and I am writing these lines to tell you a little about my family and me. I am in good health, and I am 7 years old. I am a student, and I am in 1st grade. I have one aunt named Wendy, and she is a good friend for me. I like playing soccer with her. My grandmother always gives me good advice, so I identify a lot with her; I love her companionship. I tell you that it has been difficult for me to not have my parents with me. I know that they have to travel to another country by necessity, and only God has consoled my heart; please keep me in your prayers.

As you know, my parents live and work in the United States. They communicate with us every day, and they send us money every fifteen days or once a month. They both work in restaurants but my father is in charge of washing dishes while my mother works as a cook. I am under the care of my grandmother, Victoria who is 50 years old, and she works hard at home and raises hens for selling. I tell you that she is having pain in her body and is only taking natural medicine; I would like to ask for your prayers for her too.

For me, Jesus is very special and worth everything in this life. My family and I are members of the Catholic Church, and we love it when there are masses where the seeds are blessed. We also enjoy it when it is the town’s fair because there are many activities at church. My grandmother helped me to give my information to LW Evangelism team who encouraged us to always trust in God. Well, this is all for now.

Yours truly

Luis Pedro Tzoc Sicajau
