Hello! I am so happy to greet you from the beautiful Guatemala. My full name is Carlos Alexander Gomez Ajanel, and I want to share a little about my life with you. I turned 10 years old this year. Fortunately, I am a third-grade student. I am so happy because everything has gone well at school. I am sure God is helping me to study. About my health, let me tell you that I was assessed by the doctor at the LW clinics last year. I was diagnosed with hepatitis. Fortunately, my health has improved thanks to the treatment that I received. I have learned a lot about Jesus at my church, so I am sure He is God. My family and I attend a Methodist church in our town.  

I identify with my father because I like working in the field like he does. He is healthy and makes a living as a farmer and day laborer. I beg you to pray for my mom because she has suffered from pain in her arm for two years. She buys some painkillers to mitigate the issues. Despite that, she does not stop taking care of our family. She also raises chickens to sell. My best friends’ names are Jose, Marvin, and Miguel Angel. We like playing soccer when we are together. It is time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that my mom and I were glad to share all this information with LW just for you.  

Best wishes,  

Carlos Alexander Gomez Ajanel
