My Story

Hoping that this time will be a blessing for you, I greet you, hoping that you and yours are well. It is a pleasure to write to you again and tell you a little about me. I am William Alexander Gomez Arevalo, and I turned 14 years old on March 23. The most I like most about my birthday is the special meal that my mother prepares. This year I was enrolled at school, but unfortunately, I was forced to drop out of school because of problems I had with other teenagers. I ask God to help me to resolve this matter and to be able to continue my studies next year. I felt a little sad since my parents had bought me my school supplies with a lot of effort, but I trust in God that everything will get better. I would like to be an engineer and learning English would be a nice experience to improve my employment opportunities. Christmas is close, and it is the best time of the year because I like to burn firecrackers with my friends. The sport that I like the most is football. I loved drinking coca cola. We have two dogs at home.

About my family, by the grace of God, all my family and I are in good health. My father turned 49 years old this year. His name is Nilton Ronaldo Gomez Perez. He continues working as a security guard. My mother is Rosario de Jesus Arevalo Garcia, and she is 48 years old. My mother stays at home taking care of us. I want to let you know that we are not attending a church. Thank you to the LW evangelism team who shared the gospel with us and encouraged us to seek God. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs right now are groceries, a bed and a closet. I want to thank you on behalf of my parents for the love and good care I have received from Living Water, and it has been a blessing to be a part of the feeding program. We will be praying for each of you. God bless you!

Many greetings,

William Alexander Gomez Arevalo
