My Story

I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you are doing great with your lovely family! We stopped attending church some time ago, but we believe in God. My mother is Nora Yulisa Hernandez Ochoa, and her current age is 46 years old. She does the housework and watches over my siblings and me. My father is Fernando Alberto Mazariegos Monroy, and his current age is 39 years old. He makes a living by delivering medicines; he works in a pharmacy. We have a dog as a pet. I am so thankful to God because my family and I are healthy.

This is Emily Fernanda Iveth Mazariegos Hernandez, and I am a 9-year-old girl. I am in 3^rd grade; I am still receiving virtual classes because I do not like to use masks. This year was hard for my parents because the school supplies are so expensive, and my father is the only one who works and does not earn very much. When I grow up, I would like to be a bilingual secretary and look for a good job. I would like to learn English; I think it is very interesting language. About drinks, I love Coca-Cola. The sport I like the most is basketball. Spending time with my family on my birthday is something I love; we enjoy eating a cake. My favorite season of the year is Christmas because I get new clothes, and I like lighting small sparklers. I am so grateful to you and Living Water for providing me with a tasty meal, medical attention in the clinics, and the most important thing is that I receive the words of God. As a family, we are in need of groceries, clothes and school supplies. This is all for now. Every kind of blessing to you!

Lots of love,

Emily Fernanda Iveth Mazariegos Hernandez
