My Story

I greet you in Jesus’ name hoping you are doing well. This is Julio Eliseo, and I am writing you to tell you a little about my life. First, I want to tell you that Living Water is very important for me because I am blessed with delicious lunches through the feeding program. As a family, we raise hens and pigs, and we also grow corn and black beans for our food. Our income is low, so we are in need of groceries and clothes. We have Jesus in our hearts, and we continue attending Prince of Peace Church three times a week. Thankfully, my parents are in good health. My father works as a farmer and day laborer, and he also goes to pick coffee beans at the coast for two months. His name is Juan, and he is 33 years old. My mother takes care of us but she also does the laundry of others three times a week to help my dad financially. Her name is Josefa, and she is 33 years old too.

I am 11 years old now, and I am in good health. I like soccer as sport and natural drinks. My favorite season is summer because of the hot weather. I love celebrating my birthday with a cake. I would like to learn English language, and I want to become a teacher when I am older. This year, I am in 5th grade, and I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because it is easier to do my homework and I make new friends. My parents have to cover many expenses, so it has been difficult for them to cover my daily school expenses. Well, I end my letter wishing you the best and praying God blesses you a lot.

Kisses and hugs
