My Story

Hello! How are you? I am Alicia Isabel Gomez Gabriel. I am writing this small letter to tell you about my life. Currently, my family and I are attending Full Gospel Church on Tuesday and Saturday. We are assured of our salvation. My father’s name is Domingo, and he is 49 years old. He is in good health, and he works as a mason to support the family. My mother’s name is Antonia, and she is 48 years old. She is in good health, and she works hard at home. We are a humble family, and our needs are corn and groceries. We have hens and pigs at home.

I am healthy, and I am 14 years old now. I no longer attend school this year, so I keep at home helping my mother with the chores. My favorite celebration is Christmas because I can eat “tamales”. I enjoy drinking pineapple juice, and I prefer soccer as a sport. I have to improve my Spanish since I speak Quiche dialect as my first language. I usually eat “tamales” and cake for my birthday. Living Water is a great blessing for me. I say goodbye to you for now hoping to have news from you soon.

All the best

Alicia Isabel Gomez Gabriel
