My Story

Hello! I am so happy to know that you are interested in learning about my life. I hope this letter helps you a lot. My full name is Domingo Calachij Gomez, and I am 13 years old. I am grateful to God because I am a healthy boy, and I can earn a little money on weekends. I work as a day laborer. I also attend school, which is a great blessing. I am in fourth grade. I want you to know that my whole family and I are doing well. I love and admire my father because he is hardworking and nurturing.

He makes a living as a day laborer and a farmer. On the other hand, my mother is dedicated to taking care of our family and making typical bags to sell She works hard to contribute to the expenses. We know that Jesus is our Savior, but we dropped out of church a while ago. A member of the LW staff talked to my older brother and me recently to encourage us to seek the Lord again. We appreciate that he dedicated time to share the gospel with us. This is all for now, but I hope to hear from you soon. 

Kisses and hugs,

Domingo Calachij Gomez
