Hello, I am Hugo! I would like to start my letter asking for your prayers for my mom because she had a surgery in her right humerus and is recovering now; she was treated at a public hospital. She had a motorcycle accident at the end of April and had the surgery at the beginning of May due to the swelling. Due to this situation, she is not able to work, so my stepfather is doing his best to cover our needs; he works as a blacksmith. We are passing through a difficult economic situation, but we believe that God will bless us and help us to go ahead. My maternal grandmother lives with us, and my parents cover her needs.
Thank God, the rest of my family and I are in good health. I am attending school, and I am in 9th grade this year. I also help with the household chores like cleaning the room and running errands. I do not like the heat, so I prefer the cold days; here in Guatemala, we are in winter season. For 12 years, I have been attending the feeding program, and I feel blessed for it because LW Evangelism team has guided us through the good way. My family is grateful for all the love and support I have received at the program. My parents feel free to send me there because I receive God’s Word and delicious dishes.
As a family, we attend Hebron Mount Church, and I feel motivated to attend it because we all pray for each other. We know that thanks to Jesus our sins have been forgiven, and we have tried to do God’s Will, so we think that God will let us enter into His kingdom. God is always the answer. I tell you that my grandmother helped me with this letter. I thank you so much for taking the time to read it and please keep us in your prayers.
Sincerely yours
Hugo Abiel Calixto Palacios Roman
