My Story

PENDING PHOTO 2025

This is Abel, and I greet you with much love hoping my letter makes you smile. I am in good health. I am 12 years old, and I am now in 5^th grade. I have made a new friend at school, and we like playing football during recess; just now, I do not remember his name. Thankfully, I did not get sick last year, and I could pass my grade; I am very grateful to God for it. He is good and I have to respect Him. I identify a lot with my dad, so I like working with him in the field. My family and I attend Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd Church, and we love the “Thanksgiving Services”.

My father works as a day laborer in our town, but he also goes to work at the coast for two months twice a year. My mother is a housewife, and she helps a little with the income by selling domestic animals. I would like to ask for your prayers for their lives since they are having health issues. My dad continues suffering from gastritis while my mother is now having headaches. Both have visited the health center and have received medicine for their problems. I could write you this letter thanks to my mom’s help. I hope to have news from you soon. May God bless you!

With much love

Abel Estuardo Coj Gomez
