My Story

My full name is Michael Jesper Snaider Aguilar, and I am excited to update you about my life through this letter. I hope this finds you doing well wherever you are. Fortunately, I am a healthy 13-year-old boy. I am in seventh grade at school. I have classes in the morning and do homework. I love playing football with my friends on weekends. My favorite food is spaghetti with meatballs. I am glad to be part of LW-Adopt A child because of the blessings I can receive there, such as medical and dental care. I also received grocery bags to share with my family during the pandemic. I remember the first time that I celebrated Christmas at the feeding program. I enjoyed watching a drama about Jesus’ birth and having a special and delicious lunch. Thank you so much for supporting me through this project!

Now, I want to tell you about my family. Nowadays, I live with my mom in a rented house. Fortunately, I am still in touch with my grandparents. Their home is near where I live. My mom makes a living as a cashier in a hotel to support our family economically. She is in good health. The man who was my stepfather no longer lives with us. Let me tell you that my mom and I meet with Christian people to learn about Jesus. We do not attend a formal church yet. However, we accepted Jesus as our savior some months ago. To end this update, I want you to know that a member of the LW staff shared the gospel with my mom as an encouragement to continue seeking God.

Kisses and hugs,

Michael Jesper Snaider Aguilar
