Hello! I am so happy to greet you through this letter. I am Cristian Omar Gonzalez Quexel, and I want to share a little about my life with you. I just turned 10 years old. Fortunately, I am healthy and attend the third grade at school. I want to share that my father took our family and me to Antigua during Holy Week. This was an impactful experience because we saw how our brothers and sisters worship God through different religious customs. We are a catholic family, so the Mass is the most important activity we practice at church. If you ask me who Jesus is to me, I will say He takes care of my whole family and me. I identify with my father because he takes time to play soccer with me. He is healthy and makes a living as a mason’s helper in our town. My mom also works hard by selling ornamental plants in the city to contribute to the expenses. I beg you to pray for her since she suffers from kidney stones. Thankfully, she is under medical treatment. Let me tell you that I get along wonderfully with my cousin, Esvin. He is my friend. We like watching TV when he comes to my home. It is time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that my mom and I shared all this information with LW just for you. At that opportunity, a member of the LW staff shared the gospel and encouraged us to continue making God present in everything we do. Until next time! 

Huge hugs,  

Cristian Omar Gonzalez Quexel
