I was born on September 13th, 1980, being the third son of Carlos Orlando Miranda Lucero and Juana Chavez Garay. I have two sisters: Karla Rocio (22), and Mariella Hellen ( 21); and two brothers younger than me: Juan Manuel Paul ( 17 ) and Daniel Jeremias ( 14 ).

My family met Jesus when I was 4 years old. I really commited myself to the Lord at the age of thirteen, after being baptized with my best friend, Juan Puppi. I have lived in many places of this big city called Lima. I also went to different schools, some private schools, a public school, and only from the one I made my 11th grade I keep good memories. My childhood was good, though the poverty we faced.

My parents gave me a lot from the few things they had, and taught me values that I still keep and use. My teenage years were sad and pathetic, with lots of deceptions. Though I had a few friends, there was no real sence in my life, school became a nightmare for me, making wake up every Monday wishing it were Friday. I created my own world inside of me, and my imagination used to go far beyond from my reality, a world where I was the king and the servant, the judge and the twig, the good and the bad... it was kinda sad.

One day I graduated and felt happy to have it behind me, but a new fear raised then: Where am I going to do now...

However, meanwhile I was making a perfect plan for my life, The Lord was molding His and getting me ready for it.

And then I came to America...

The last three years had been full of surprises and in the last two years I have experienced many things, much more than in my whole live itself. I though I had what I wanted and said to myself: this is it... But I left all that to follow a call from the one that die for me... I have lost almost everything, but I gain a lot more. God allowed me to rejoice when I had nothing left and no one around, and to suffer when I thought I had everything. But until now I do not regret of the decision I made, and I trust that someday I will see the fruits of my efforts and sacrifices. And I will look back and then I will understand why the Lord allowed all this to happen and that this was really worthy.

I have made it up to here but not by my own. I own to so many people the fact that I am where I am. My parents to begin, actually my whole family for putting up with me. My friends, the few ones I have, the ones that were there at all times, for giving me the best they had. And even I owed to those who hurt me and turn their back to me cuz they taught me not to make the same mistake twice...

And I thing I also owed to you, cuz if you a re taking the time to read this, I think you kinda care about me. Thanks you are one of the reason why I made this web page
