My Story

This is Andy Carlos Toj Zacarias, and I am updating you about my family and me. First, I will tell you about my family. We are members of United Pentecostal Church, and we attend the services on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. We are assured in our Salvation, and we are grateful to LW because the Evangelism team also tells us about God at the feeding program. We have hens and pigs at home, and we grow corn too; all this is for our consumption. We are a humble family, and our greatest need is groceries. My father’s name is Carlos. He is 46 years old, and he is in good health. He works as a day laborer and has also sells pork meat. My mother’s name is Maria. She is 38 years old, and she is in good health too. She works hard at home and tends her own tortillas business.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 13 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 5^th grade, and I am learning faster this year since I am attending school in person. There are times that my parents’ sales are not so good, so it is difficult for them to cover my school expenses. I would like to become a soccer player in the future. My favorite celebration is Christmas because I can buy and light fireworks. I dream of celebrating my birthday someday. It would be incredible to learn English. I love drinking sodas like Coca-Cola. Living Water is very important in my life, and I have been blessed in a big way. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best

Andy Carlos Toj Zacarias
