My Story

Hello! I cordially greet you, hoping you are healthy. I am Pedro Zapeta Aquino, and I am 10 years old. Before telling you more about my life, I want you to know that my older brother and a member of the LW staff helped me write this letter. I love playing soccer with my friends. My best friend’s name is Adonias, and I met him some years ago. I am in second grade again. I am grateful to God for taking care of my family and giving me the best parents ever! I have a lot of confidence in them. My father makes a living as a day laborer.

He also goes to work at the coast to cover our needs. On the other hand, my mother keeps busy doing the chores and taking care of my siblings and me. We raise and sell domestic animals to earn extra money. As for our spiritual life, we attend a Pentecostal Church called Prince of Peace. There are engaging activities there, but our favorites are the Thanksgiving services for the harvest. I send you huge hugs and wish you all the best.

In Jesus’ name,

Pedro Zapeta Aquino
