My Story

Special greetings! This is Efrain Armando Sicajau Luis, and I feel blessed to greet you through this letter. I am 9 years old. I attend the first grade again. I live with my grandparents and a sister with special needs. I identify with my grandfather because he is understanding and a good advisor. He makes a living by making wells. On the other hand, my grandmother keeps busy doing the chores and taking care of my sister, Maritza. I am grateful to God for having them with me. I can feel God’s love and peace through them when I feel discouraged and rejected by my stepfather. Unfortunately, I do not have a good relationship with him. My mother and stepfather live with us in the same house. My mother is a housewife and sells domestic animals to help my grandparents with our expenses.

I have learned that Jesus is God’s son and the Savior of the world. My grandmother and I attend a nearby church. As for my grandfather, he still does not go with us because he is not sure about it. I am grateful to the evangelism team of LW because one of them shared the gospel with him as encouragement to seek the Lord. That happened while my grandfather and I were sharing all this information with the teacher. To end this letter, I want you to know that I get along wonderfully with my cousin, Marcelina. She is my friend. We have a lot of fun playing soccer. See you later!

Best wishes,

Efrain Armando Sicajau Luis
