My Story

I am Gael Elias Alberto, and I greet you with much love thanking you in advance for reading my letter. I am fine and I hope you are too. I am 8 years old, and this year, I am repeating 1^st grade. In my free time, I do my homework. I like the cold weather, and right now, we are in winter time here in Guatemala. I attend Assembly of God Church with my family, and what motivates me to attend it are the deacons’ attention and the praise time. We accepted Jesus in our hearts and know that He forgave our sins, so we are secure that we will enter His kingdom.

I would like to ask for your prayers for my mother because life has not been easy for her since she has been both mother and father for my siblings and me. I ask God supports and gives her strength to go ahead. She helped me with this letter. She earns a living by weaving typical blouses and raising hens for selling. Thankfully, she is in good health. She felt excited when she heard about the feeding program because I was going to receive lunches and medicine for free. She is very grateful for all the blessings I have received at the program. I have been attending the program for more than a year, and it has been the best. I say goodbye to you for now.

With much love

Gael Elias Alberto Gomez Ruiz
