My Story

Special regards from Quiche! I feel blessed to write this letter and share my latest news with you. My full name is Pedro Gomez Coj, and I am 8 years old. My heart is overjoyed because I have the opportunity to attend school. I am in second grade and I have made many friends! My best friend’s name is Valerio Tomin. We enjoy playing soccer. I tell you that Jesus is also my friend. I love learning about Him at my church. My family and I attend a Pentecostal church, and our favorite activity is the First Fruit presentation. By the grace of the Lord, my whole family and I are doing well. My father is a hardworking man who does his best to support our family.

He works as a farmer and day laborer, while my mother takes care of us. I admire and love her so much because she is nurturing. She raises and sells chickens to contribute to the expenses. This is all for now, but I appreciate you taking the time to know about me. My mother and a member of the LW staff helped me with this letter. Until next time!

Huges hugs,

Pedro Gomez Coj
