My Story

Hello, good afternoon! My full name is Abner Elias Jacinto Guaran and I am so happy to share a little bit about my life with you through this letter. I am 14 years old and I have attended the feeding program for about three years. My mother felt motivated to send my sister and me there because she wanted us to receive the blessings that she used to receive when she was a child. She remembers that she had a lot of fun taking part in the different activities that they organized. I tell you that I stopped attending school about one year ago because of a lack of financial resources.

Today, I am dedicated to helping my mother to cleaning our house. She is a housewife and sometimes she works in a tortilleria business to contribute to the expenses. My father makes a living as a baker. Thankfully, my whole family and I are in good health. We do not attend any church at the moment, but I hope we can do it soon. I want to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to sister Princesa (a member of the LW staff) for sharing the gospel with my mother recently, as an encouragement to look for God. It is time to say goodbye, but I kindly ask you to pray for my whole family and me so that God keeps us healthy. Until next time!

Kind regards,

Abner Elias Jacinto Guaran
