My Story

First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. This is Luis Emanuel and I am glad to share my last news with you through this means. My family and I attend a Christian Church called Door of Heaven. We usually attend our services on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I want to use this opportunity to let you know that LW is a meaningful project for my family and me because we have received a lot of blessings there. Thanks to your loving support, I could listen to the gospel. A teacher of the evangelism team shared it with me and used that moment to collect this information for you. As you know, my father passed away some years ago. His name was Pedro Martin. My mother, Maria Dominga Santos, is 38 years old. She is the one who supports our needs by working in a restaurant in Palin, Escuintla. Taking advantage of this moment, I would love to ask for your prayers for her health. She suffers from depression and her blood pressure is uncontrolled. At the moment, she has not visited a doctor. 

As for school, let me tell you that I am doing my best as a sixth grader. I would like to receive online classes because I am not a big fan of getting up early in the morning. Nowadays, the economic situation has not gone well all over the world. My mother sometimes has trouble covering my round trip fares to attend school. I would love to become an actor. My favorite holiday is Carnival because I have a lot of fun. My favorite sport is soccer and I love drinking Coca-Cola. I will have my twelfth birthday in October. What I love the most is receiving gifts and eating a delicious cake to celebrate a new year of life. To end this letter, I want you to know I have one dog and two cats at home. I will leave you now, but I hope to tell you more about my pets soon. May God bless you!

Cordiality yours,

Luis Emanuel Martin Santos
