My Story

It is a wonderful day to say hello to you and I hope our Lord is taking care of you! Praise the Lord my family and I continue attending Prince of Peace Church; we go on Thursdays and Saturdays. We trust our salvation in Jesus; we appreciate so much the encouraging words that LW staff gave us this time. My mother is Julia Maribel Lopes Grave, and she is 28 years old. She stays busy with the duties at home. My father is Luis Isaiac Tzoc Tzunux, and he is 29 years old. He makes a living by working as a farmer and construction helper to supply our family´s needs. At home, we do not have space to raise animals or grow anything. I am so thankful to God because my family and I are healthy.

I am Wilson Estuardo Tzoc Lopez, and I am 11 years old. I am a third-grade student; my classes are at school, and it is helping my social development which is better for my learning. For my parents, it is hard to support me at school because they have to supply the home expenses. I speak Spanish as my native language and have some knowledge of the K'iche´ Mayan dialect, but I would like to learn to speak it. Later, I would like to learn the mason profession because I like it. I like sodas and my favorites are Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Playing football is so much fun; it is my favorite sport. I like Christmas time; I have vacations and I enjoy playing with my siblings and friends. Something I love on my birthday is to receive a birthday cake; it makes me so happy because I share it with my family. Being part of Living Water is a big blessing for me because I receive tasty meals, and medical care in the clinics; it is so helpful for me and my family. We are in need of groceries, corn and soap. With much love. I pray God blesses you wherever you go!

Lots of love,

Wilson Estuardo Tzoc Lopez
