My Story

This is Elias Simaj Gutierrez, and I want to tell you about my family and me. I am attending school, and I am in 1^st grade this year. In my free time, I help my mom to sweep. I love the hot weather because I can go to the river. I tell you that my dad was part of the feeding program when he was a child, and he was blessed with delicious lunches and presents there. So, it motivated him to register my siblings and me at the program; I am happy for his good decision. I have been attending the program for about 3 years, and I like the Bible classes because we take time to pray.

Let’s talk about my family. I live with my parents, and they do their best to cover our needs. My dad works as a farmer or day laborer while my mom raises hens and pigs for selling; she also does the household chores. Thankfully, they are in good health. We have stopped attending church, so LW Evangelism team has shared God’s Word with us and has encouraged us to seek Him. We hope to do it someday. We took advantage of this to ask for your prayers for our family and our health. I say goodbye to you for now.

Sincerely yours

Elias Simaj Gutierrez
