My Story

I greet you with much love hoping you are doing well. My name is Eduardo Marcelino, and I want to share with you a little about my family and me. I would like to start my letter asking for your prayers for my family, especially for my father because he is having alcoholic problems which is affecting us. He works as a day laborer and covers our needs, but there have been times that he spends his money on his addiction. I thank you in advance for your prayers for him. On the other hand, my mother is working as a day laborer with our neighbors in order to improve our income. She helped me with this letter for you. Thank God, my parents are both in good health.

As a family, we are attending Full Gospel Church. We enjoy all the activities done there, but I especially like the vigils and thanksgiving services for the harvest. For me, Jesus is my faithful friend. We have been encouraged by LW Evangelism team to continue trusting in God, and we are grateful for their words. Now, let’s talk about me. I am in good health, and I am 12 years old. I attended 2^nd grade this year. It has been difficult for me to learn the lessons and do my homework, so please pray for me. I like spending time with my friends at school, and I walk to school with my brother Luis Fernando. My mother is the person with whom I identify most because she is a very good person. Well, I say goodbye to you for now.  

Cordially yours

Eduardo Marcelino Alonzo Ortiz
