My Story

Hello! This is Juan Jose Gaspar Pedro, and I am pleased to share my 2025 news. First, I want you to know that my whole family and I are all doing well. My father works hard carrying people or heavy packages on his pedicab to bring food home. On the other hand, my mom is dedicated to doing the chores and taking care of our family. We are members of a Christian church called the Voice of the Lamb. My siblings and I enjoy attending the Bible Sunday School because we can learn more about Jesus, our creator. As for me, I want to share that I am 12 years old and attend school as a fifth grader. My best friend’s name is Gerson. We became friends about two years ago, thanks to soccer. I identify with my mom because she helps me with my homework. I am grateful to the Lord for blessing us in each moment of our lives. He allowed us to make a trip to a nearby beach a few months ago. That was the most wonderful experience that we have had. To end this letter, let me tell you that my mom and a member of the LW staff helped me write this letter to you. Have a wonderful day!

Every kind of blessing upon you,

Juan Jose Gaspar Pedro
