Hello! Padrinos how are you? I wish you and yours are doing fine when this letter reaches you. I hope you enjoy reading my updated information 2024 because I want to share with you some notices about my family and me through this. First of all, I want to let you know that my family and I are grateful for every benefit that I receive from LW Ministries because it has been a great blessing for us. Thank you for sponsoring me with much love. You are an important and special people in my life! 

This is Lester Octavio Chivalan Garcia and I am 20 years old. I am a healthy boy. As you know, I am not studying, but I continue working as a farmer and day laborer in order to support my family. I spend my weekend by helping with chores at home and going out to collect firewood. I accepted Jesus in my heart five years ago.  LW Ministries have blessed to my family and my life through the free and delicious meals for lunch that they serve in the Feeding Center. I like to eat the fried chicken that they cook and serve. In addition, I have been blessed with medicines in the medical clinic. In the future, I would like to be a volunteer for the Ministry because I think it would be a good experience. I enjoyed every activity during Christmas celebration in that place in December. 

As a family, we are members of Prince of Peace Church many years ago and my parents serve God as deacons. LW teacher encouraged my mother to continue seeking God and she is grateful for the beautiful words. My mother`s name is Maria Victoria Garcia Gutierrez. She lives with us and she is a housewife. She continues raising hens for sell and gets some income. She is in good health and she accepted Jesus in her heart a long time ago.  My father`s name is Mario Chivalan. He lives with the family. He is a healthy man and as you know, he is working in the Evangelism Team from this Ministry in order to provide for our financial needs. Moreover, he grows corn for feed us. He accepted Jesus in his heart a long time ago. I would like to ask for your prayers for health and economic provision for my whole family.  Thank you for the special gifts you send me. I appreciate it so much and I send you all my love! (My mother provided this information to the Evangelism teacher) 

Strong hugs, 

Lester Octavio Chivalan Garcia
