My Story

Hello! I fondly greet you, hoping you doing well. By means of this letter, I want you to know that I have attended the feeding program here in Zone 5 for one year and a half. It has been a great blessing for my family and me since I can listen to the gospel. My mother used to receive the benefits of LW when she was a child. She had beautiful and joyful moments at the feeding program. She told me that she enjoyed going to the park with other children. Food is delicious and I love spending time with my friends while we have our meals at LW. My full name is Wesley Alessandro Melendez Martinez, and I am 13 years old. I am in 7th grade at school, and I am healthy. Before having my meals at the feeding program, I attend Bible classes. I like it because it is nice to learn meaningful new verses. Between hot and cold weather, I prefer cold because I do not sweat and can sleep well.

I live with my parents, who are doing well by the grace of the Lord. My father makes a living by painting houses while my mother is a cashier at a supermarket. They strive to support all our family needs. I help them to do some chores like making my bed and putting clothes where they belong. About our spiritual life, I tell you that we do not attend any church at the moment. We stopped doing it a while ago because of a few personal reasons. My family and I appreciate that brother Juan Carlos (a member of the LW staff) shared the gospel and encouraged us to follow Jesus again to assure our salvation. We have always known that God is our creator and our everything. So please pray for our well-being and for material and spiritual. It is time to say goodbye, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my information. May God bless you!

Sincerely yours,

Wesley Alessandro Melendez Martinez
