My Story

I fondly greet you through this letter, hoping you are enjoying the blessings of our Lord. Before telling you my news, I want you to know that my mom helped me to write this for you. I am Edy Eduardo Marroquin Perez, and I am 17 years old. Thankfully, I am attending school as an eighth-grade student. I have classes from 8:00 to 15:00 hrs. After school, I dedicate myself to studying and doing homework. I enjoy playing the guitar and reading the bible on weekends. I am happy to be part of LW-Adopt a Child. My family and I have felt the love of Jesus through the staff, so we are grateful for it. I like having delicious lunches at the feeding program. I love eating fried chicken the most. The staff and volunteers do good work at LW. I would love to serve together with them someday. Last year, I had fun at the annual Christmas party at the feeding program. All the activities were engaging.

Thankfully, I accepted Jesus as my Savior one year ago at my church. I attend New Life in Christ alongside my parents. My father has the privilege of sharing the gospel during the services. My mom and he gave their hearts to the Almighty many years ago. My father makes a living as a tuk-tuk driver to support our family economically. However, it has been hard for him because he does not make much money. My mom also does her best to contribute to her income at home. She works as a domestic employee. By the grace of God, they are in good health. I say goodbye to you for now, but I want you to know that a teacher of the evangelism team shared the gospel as an encouragement to continue seeking God. Take care of yourself!

Sincerely yours,

Edy Eduardo Marroquin Perez
