It is my pleasure to greet you through this hoping you are doing great! My name is Fernando Jose Gutierrez Toj. I am a 15-year-old boy. I am in 8th grade this year and I receive my classes in the morning shift. On weekends I do some work to help my family with some money. My father is a musician and also works as a day laborer to sustain the family´s needs. Meanwhile my mother does the housework. We raise hens and goats, and additionally, we cultivate corn and beans. Thankfully, we are fine; nevertheless, I want you to pray for us so we continue staying well. 

I love the Christmas celebration that the evangelism teachers prepare in the feeding program; the food is delicious and I am so happy to receive a gift. I thank God for blessing me by being registered in the program and receiving food and medicines which are a great help for me. I love fried chicken; they prepare it deliciously. We do not attend church; the evangelism teacher shared the gospel with us and encouraged us to seek God. Let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW staff to share news about me. Thank you for reading this. May our Lord continue blessing your life! 

Kind regards, 

Fernando Jose Gutierrez Toj
