My Story

Hello! How are you? I hope you and your loved ones are fine and healthy. I am Juan Byron, and I want to tell you about my life. I am fine, and I already turned 10. I am attending school in the morning, and I am repeating 2nd grade. I do my homework in

the afternoons and on weekends. I love the fried chicken, and I enjoy eating it at the feeding center; I have been very blessed with many lunches there. I live far away from the center but I am happy to be part of it. Christmas celebration is a beautiful activity done for us and I like the praises. I still have vision problems. I have an infection in my right eye, and I was already checked by LW doctor; I am taking medicine for it.

I would like to ask for your prayers for my family so that we are always in good health. We grow corn for our consumption, and we raise hens for selling and eating. My father works as a farmer, and he is the one who covers the home expenses. My mother works hard at home and is always attentive to the family. The whole family goes to pick coffee beans at the coast for two months in order to get some extra money. We believe in God, and we attend Prince of Peace Church; LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue seeking God. My mother and I gave this information to the team, and we are grateful to you for taking the time to read my letter.

Cordially yours

Juan Byron Mendez Garcia
