My Story

I am so excited to greet you and share my information with you. My name is Juan Elias Abraham Gutierrez Riz. I am 11 years old. We are members of the Catholic Church; the activity we like the most is the First Fruit service; it is very special. My mom trusts her salvation in Jesus. We appreciate that an evangelism teacher encouraged us to continue seeking God. My dad works as a farmer and day laborer. He also goes to pick coffee beans at the coast for two months twice a year. Meanwhile, my mom does the household chores and raises hens to sell and get an income. It is a great joy in my heart because my family and I are in good health.

I got so happy when I found out I passed my grade last year, and now, I am a second-grade student. I thank God for the opportunity to study and for the support I receive from him. Yony and I have been friends since we were very young. We like to do homework together, and then, we play football. I like to spend time with my mom, and she sometimes takes me to the market; it is a lot of fun. I would like you to know that my mom, Francisca, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Well, this is all for now, and I would like to hear news from you very soon. May God bless you wherever you go!

With all my love,

Juan Elias Abraham Gutierrez Riz
