This is a blessing for me to be able to write you this little story about my life.  I hope you are enjoying a 2025 full of peace from God. I am Cesar Mardoqueo Toj Ruiz. I am grateful to God for his blessings upon my whole family. All of them are enjoying good health and my parents are living with us and taking care of us. I feel the presence of God in my life because he looks after me every day when I go to my school. For me, Jesus is my God. I admire my father because he is a hardworking man. I help him in the corn fields and we have a good connection. Carlos is the name of my best friend and we play soccer together. Our friendship has been for many years. I am a healthy 10 year old boy and I am in 3rd grade at school. 

My family and I are members of the Methodist Christian Church and I like to celebrate its anniversary. My mother is assured of her salvation in Jesus and she helped the LW team to collect this information. She is grateful for the support that we receive from LW Adopt-A-Child. She stays at home and she dedicates her time to the family. Her name is Gregoria Ruiz de la Cruz and my father`s name is Julian Toj Luis. He earns a living by working as a farmer and day laborer. Well, I say good bye for now, but I send you all my best wishes! 

Warm wishes, 

Cesar Mardoqueo Toj Ruiz
