My Story

My full name is Esvin Eduardo Samuel Ruiz Ajqui, and I am glad to introduce myself through this letter. I am 16 years old, and I no longer attend school. Unfortunately, my mom cannot support my education. Nowadays, I stay at home and help my mom with the household chores. I have speech problems, but I have done my best to improve. Thankfully, I am doing well. I am so happy attending the feeding program because I can have delicious meals there. My favorite food is fried chicken. Being a volunteer at the feeding program has been a blessing. I like helping the staff to clean tables and sweeping the floors. Therefore, I try to get to the feeding program early. Christmas is my favorite time of the year because it brings lovely traditions. I received a beautiful Christmas gift at the feeding program last year.

Now, I want to tell you a little about my family. I am excited because my mom will have a baby soon. Fortunately, they are in good health. My mom dedicates her time to making typical belts to sell and get her income. My stepfather left our home for a short time. When he found out that my mom is pregnant, he came back home. Nowadays, he is striving even more at work to help our family financially. He is healthy and makes a living as a day laborer. I ask you to pray for our whole family so the Lord keeps us healthy and safe. We have hens and pigs at home. We sometimes sell them. My family and I trust in the Lord. We have attended a Christian Church for many years. My mom is sure about her salvation. She is grateful to the LW evangelism team for the encouraging words they gave her recently to continue persevering at church. I will leave you now, but I thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. May you have a lovely and blessed day!

Affectionally,

Esvin Eduardo Samuel Ruiz Ajqui
