My Story

I send you warm greetings from Guatemala hoping they find you in good health. I am William Fernando, and this is my history. I am in good health, and I am 17 years old. I am attending school, and I am in 9^th grade this year. I help my aunt with her sales when it is necessary. I tell you that I practice mixed martial arts (MMA), and one of my best experiences has been to win tournaments and spend time with foreigners. God has given me the capacity to train without violence. For me, Jesus is God’s son and my good friend. I have a friend named Maryorie, and I met her three years ago. We go out to run and have a good relationship.

The family member with whom I identify most is my aunt, Nanci, because she supports me, loves me and gives me good advice. She has taken care of me since I was 8 years old. She treats me like a biological son. She earns a living by selling sponges, and she does her best to cover my needs. My mother works in the customer service area of an ice cream company, and she is not supporting me financially. My aunt is member of the Catholic Church, and I am now attending an Evangelical church called Jesus the Good Shepherd. We believe in God, and we are grateful to LW Evangelism team for their encouraging words. We are a humble family, and we struggle to go ahead every day. Well, I say good bye to you for now.

Many blessings

William Fernando Velasquez Tzun
