My Story

Hello! My name is Josue Emanuel, and I want to share my latest news with you. Before doing it, let me tell you that I gave all this information to a teacher of LW, so I hope you find it engaging. My family and I are grateful to the LW staff for sharing the gospel with us. It has been a tremendous spiritual support for us. At the moment, my family and I do not attend church. I want to open my heart to you and tell you that my father abandoned us about one year ago. His name is Moises Anibal Mejia Quexel. He does not help us economically, nor does he have communication with us. The one who is supporting our family is my mom. Her name is Silvia Magali Yapan Ordonez, and she is 32 years old. She works on a rose farm in Duenas. My family and I are doing well. However, our situation has been hard for us during the last months because our house burned down. Fortunately, we have received so much help from good hearted people and LW.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I want you to know that LW has been a meaningful project because of all the blessings that my family and I have received. As for me, let me tell you that I am 15 years old. I was in fifth grade this year. I prefer to attend school because it is the best method to learn. Our economic situation has not gone well lately because everything has been expensive. It was hard for my mom to cover all my school supplies. There are many things that I would love to do when I am older. One of them is to become a teacher. I hope to accomplish it someday. My favorite holiday is Christmas because I love spending time with my family. I like drinking hibiscus tea and my favorite sport is soccer. When my birthday comes, I love having a special lunch prepared by my mom. I say goodbye to you for now, but I thank you so much for reading my letter.

Cordiality yours,

Josue Emanuel Mejia Yapan
