My name is Laredo Wilson. I am 10 years old. I live in Waxahatchie, Texas (pronounced like Wok a hatch ee); I have lived here all my life. Was born there and still call Waxahatchie my home.
I have a mom and dad (I call 'em Mama and Daddy), as well as two younger brothers: Maverick Dillon and Blade Patrick, who are seven and three. I get along with 'em most of the time, but sometimes they do drive me crazy!
I am in the fourth grade at Lone Star Academy; it's a private Christian school. I love it there; I used to go to public school but kept getting bullied, so Mama and Daddy pulled me out of there and put me in private school. I like it a lot better.
I also can talk about God without worrying about getting into trouble or "offending" other people.
On Sundays, I go to church. I love Sunday school and afterwards, I go to the children's service, which is held in the gymnasium. Pastor Ken is a lot of fun and you can tell he loves his job of teaching kids about the Lord. In fact, last year, I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart and now I am a Christian, which made my mama and daddy very happy.
When I gtow up I want to be a preacher like Pastor Ken. Or maybe I want to be a real cowboy, just like my uncle Scotty, who lives in Fort Worth. He has a ranch and everything.
Well, I gotta go; it's about time to get our grub faces on. We're having empanadas tonight; I love Mexican food!! I will write in here another day; until then, this is Laredo Wilson saying so long and God bless!
