My Story

Good morning! How are you? I send you special greetings from the bottom of my heart and I hope you are doing very well together with your loved ones. I tell you that thank God my family and I are in good health. My father works as a farmer and grows corn for our consumption. My mother does the household chores and takes care of the family. Also, she raises domestic animals to sell in order to earn some money. We are seven siblings and four of them are already married and live apart. This year I attend sixth grade and my favorite subject is communication and language. Next year I am going to look for a job because I do not want to continue at school.

I want to look for a job in a store in order to earn my own money to cover my expenses by myself. I love to play football and I play with my siblings and friends. I help my father with the crops. I love Christmas because I get to light firecrackers, and usually my mother cooks “tamales” (typical food).  The most important thing is to share good time with my family. We attend Christ of Church, and I sing, pray and read my bible. I take this chance to express my gratitude for your support through Living Water.  It is a great blessing for me to have my meals, dental and medical attention in the clinics. Also, I receive a gift for Christmas. I am so happy because I am learning about God´s Word in the program and they encourage me to seek our Lord. Take care of yourself. I leave you for now. Many blessings! 

Lots of hugs
