My Story

This is Madely Eliana Riz Garcia, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are still members of Assembly of God Church, and we attend the services on Friday and Sunday. We believe in Jesus as our Savior. We raise hens and grow corn, but it is for our consumption. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries. My father’s name is Carlos. He is 40 years old and is in good health. He works as a mason’s helper to support the family. My mother’s name is Juana. She is 37 years old and is in good health too. She works hard at home and looks after our domestic animals.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11 years old, and I am healthy. I was in 5^th grade this year, and it was a good school year because I attended classes in person. It was difficult for my father to support me with my studies since he has other expenses. I want to become a good cook when I am older. My favorite celebration is Christmas because I light fireworks. My family buys me a cake and prepares a special lunch for my birthday. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking sodas. I would like to learn English language in the future. Living Water is very important in my life, and I am grateful for all the support received. I pray God pours out many blessings upon this Ministry!

All the best
