My Story

My heart is overjoyed for having the opportunity to greet you through this letter. How are you doing? I am Eduardo Marroquin Pastor Gonzalez and I am pleased to tell you that I have attended the feeding program for about two years. I usually receive Bible lessons before having my meals. What I like the most is praying. I turned 8 years old in October and thanks to the loving care of God, I am in good health. I live with my parents, oldest sister, grandparents, uncles, and their own families. Thankfully, everybody is doing well. I am in first grade and my favorite pastime is playing soccer.

I prefer the cold weather rather than hot because it gets cloudy, which helps me to avoid sunburn. My parents work hard in order to provide my sister and me with everything that we need to survive. My father works in the field as a farmer and day laborer, while my mother weaves typical clothes. She also raises chickens and sells them. We are members of the Catholic Church and what motivates us to go there is the family environment. My mother has assurance of her salvation because she received Jesus in her heart. Sister Yesenmia (a member of the LW staff) recently encouraged her to continue persevering. It is time to say goodbye, but I kindly ask you to pray for my whole family so that God takes care of us. Have a wonderful day!

Kind regards,

Eduardo Marroquin Pastor Gonzalez
