Bio
I am 20 years old. I was born in the Department of San Martin in the Peruvian jungle, in a town called Plantanuyacu, in the district of Yuracyacu.
My aunt and uncle, Noé and Abran Guevara were pastors for many years in North Chiclayo, and listening to their stories moved me a lot. I felt the desire to be part of that legacy of my family. When I was very young, at the age of 8, I decided to be a missionary. In my teens, I went out and helped my pastor evangelize door to door. This was my life, and I enjoyed it. When I was 18, since I had very little bible knowledge and little guidance from my leaders, I was encouraged me to go to the seminary in Chiclayo. I studied there a year, but I did not feel comfortable, until this year, I heard about 40/40. My heart was glad, and I said if I had the chance I would leave everything to be a 40/40.
In one week, I applied, was accepted, and wrapped up my life in Chiclayo. All my friends and family told me here's what you want. It really is a dream. After a 26 hour trip to Arequipa, now I'm a 40/40 in Arequipa. I am very happy to meet my partner, Tia.
