My Story

Hello! I am pleased to greet you from beautiful Guatemala. My full name is Edwin Damian Rodriguez Hernandez, and I want to share a little about my life with you. I am 12 years old, and I am grateful to God because He has always been with me. As proof of His fidelity, I am in sixth grade this year. I have worked hard for the last years at school to avoid failing any grade. My best friend’s name is Israel. We became friends about two years ago. We usually gather to play soccer. Now, let me tell you a little about my family. Thankfully, we are all healthy.

I identify with my father because I look physically like him. He strives a lot to cover our needs. He works hard as a farmer and a day laborer. My mom is a housewife and contributes to the household expenses. She raises and sells domestic animals. If you ask me who Jesus is to me, I will say He is my savior and paid for all my sins. We attend a Christian church in which we enjoy worshipping Jesus. Our favorite activity is the Thanksgiving service. This is all for now, but I hope you found my letter lovely. My mom and a member of the LW staff helped me write it. Until next time!

Cordiality yours,

Edwin Damian Rodriguez Hernandez
