My Story

Kind regards from the most beautiful Central American country, Guatemala! I am Pavel Eduardo Garcia Noriega, and I am glad to know that you are reading my information. I hope you find it engaging. I am 6 years old, and I love playing soccer with my best friend, Axel. I am in kindergarten. I am still not able to write by myself, so I asked my mother for help to write this letter. Luckily, my whole family and I are healthy. My mother is a brilliant middle school teacher. She works on the morning shift and takes care of my older sister and me in the afternoon. I tell you that I do not have my father with me because he separated from my mother a few years ago. This has been a challenging experience, but God is comforting my heart.

Fortunately, I am in touch with my father. I love him so much because he strives to cover my needs, like clothing. He lives in a place called Quetzaltenango, and works as an electronic technician. To end this letter, I want you to know that I am deeply grateful for being part of LW-Adopt A Child. This organization has not only blessed me with food, but with the gospel, too. A member of the staff shared a verse from the bible with my mother and encouraged her to attend a nearby church since we still do not do it. I send you all my best wishes, looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Pavel Eduardo Garcia Noriega
