Hello! I fondly greet you from the beautiful Central American country, Guatemala. My full name is Carlos Eduardo Gonzalez Quexel, and I want to tell you a little bit about my life. I am 15 years old and attend the ninth grade at school. I get along wonderfully with my cousin, Angel. He is my friend. We are together to play soccer. I enjoy soccer immensely because I have experienced exciting moments, like when I participated in the soccer school championship. Thank God, my team and I won it! Let me tell you that I have learned that Jesus is the one who gives us life. As a catholic boy, I like attending Mass with my family. I identify with my mom because we take special moments to converse. She sells ornamental plants in the city to contribute to the expenses. I beg you to pray for her since she suffers from kidney stones. Fortunately, she is already under treatment. The rest of my family and I are doing well. My father works hard as a mason’s helper here in Duenas. To end this letter, let me tell you that a member of the LW staff shared the gospel and encouraged us to continue making God present in everything we do. My mom and I took advantage of that opportunity to share all this information just for you.  

Sincerely yours,  

Carlos Eduardo Gonzalez Quexel
