My Story

My full name is Diego Oswaldo Lopez Trigueros, and I am so happy to share my updated information with such a special person like you. I am a healthy 14-year-old boy. I am in seventh grade again. I want to share that my family made a great effort to buy me an Xbox game. Playing with it for the first time brought me a lot of happiness. I thanked God for blessing me with what I longed for. Besides that, I had the blessing of making a new friend. His name is Adrian, and I met him about four months ago. We like playing soccer and talking about our lives when get together.

My family and I still attend Mount Hebron Church. I like attending the youth group. I have learned that Jesus is the true love who gave his life to save the whole world and me. I am glad because my mom is part of the deaconess group. Fortunately, she is healthy. She works in a factory by operating a sewing machine. She strives daily so our family does not lack food and other needs. I am so lucky because I also have my oldest sister’s support. She is my role model. Now, let me tell you about my father. As you know, he occasionally helps me economically. He is doing well and continues working as a taxi driver. Thank you so much for reading my letter!

Kind regards,

Diego Oswaldo Lopez Trigueros
