My Story

This is a nice day to tell you a little bit about my family and myself through this letter and I send you many blessings from God. This is Edwin Enrique Gutierrez Garcia. As you know, my parents are not present in my life, so I continue living under my maternal grandmother`s care. Her name is Catarina Garcia and she helped to collect this information for you. She is assured of her salvation and LW team encouraged her to continue seeking God. We are attending the Catholic Church and we like to participate in the special thanksgiving service for our seeds and crops. 

Thank the Lord, my grandmother is in good health and she raises hens, turkeys and pigs to sell and earn some money. She tries to cover every expense, but it is so difficult for her because she is the only one that sustains me. I pray someday I can help her with the home expenses.

My life has been impacted because my parents abandoned me. Sometimes, I feel so sad but I pray and God comforts me with his presence. He always has been with me during the process. I know Jesus is my heavenly father. I admire my grandmother because she struggles every day to take me ahead. My best friend is Walter and we met seven years ago. We like to play soccer together. I am eleven years old and by the grace of God, I am in good health and I am a fifth grade student. This is my updated information and I will say good bye for now. Blessings to you!

Strong hugs,

Edwin Enrique Gutierrez Garcia
