My Story

Hello! My full name is Javier Alessandro Mazate Alvarado, and I am glad to share a little bit about my life with you. I am a healthy 13-year-old boy, and I identify with my father because he is brilliant. He is healthy and makes a living as a messenger. After work, he helps me with my homework. I am in sixth grade now. After school, I like playing soccer with my best friend in the afternoon. My friend’s name is Habraam Gutierrez. Let me tell you that the happiest experience I have had was going to a nearby beach called Puerto San Jose, in Escuintla. I had a great time with my parents there. We believe the Lord blessed us with the economic resources to cover the trip. I am so happy because my mom is also healthy and takes care of me while my father works. She is a great housewife. We attend a Christian church called Trees of Justice. It is nice to hear the sermons because I can learn more about Jesus. Today, I am sure He is God’s son and my Savior. To end this letter, I want you to know that my father helped me write and share it with LW just for you. See you later!

Kind regards,

Javier Alessandro Mazate Alvarado
