My Story

Hello! My full name is Esdras Otoniel Pedro Gonzalez, and first of all, I want to tell you that my mother was a registered child in the Feeding Program in the past. Due to her experience, she enrolled me four years ago. She is so grateful for every support and for blessing my life.

She continues earning a living by selling second-hand clothing in our village to support my father with home expenses. Unfortunately, she suffers from an infection in her kidney, gastritis and helicobacter pylori bacterium, but she is under medical treatment and takes her medicines. Currently, my father is a mason and he tries to cover our needs and pay the electricity, running water and the house rent. As a family, we are not attending any church, but the LW teacher shared the gospel to my mother, encouraged her and invited her to the Liberty Church from LW. He also prayed for our health and well-being. Thankfully, my mother accepted the invitation to attend the church.

I am in 5^th grade and I am twelve years old. I like to attend the Bible classes from the Feeding Program because I love the teachings and games. I organize my room and I sweep the rooms. I like to go for a walk, so I prefer hot weather. I am a healthy boy and thank you for reading my letter. Have a wonderful day!

Strong hugs,

Esdras Otoniel Pedro Gonzalez
