My Story

This is Joshua Jeancarlo Sanchez Rivera, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We have stopped attending church, but we hope to return to it soon. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries and beds. My father’s name is Jose Sanchez. He is 32 years old, and he is in good health. He works as a messenger to support us. My mother’s name is Nilda Rivera. She is 32 years old, and she is in good health too. She tends her small grocery store and takes care of the family. We have one dog as a pet.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 9 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 3^rd grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because I learn quicker and I play with my friends. My parents have done their best to support me with my studies. I want to become a doctor when I am older, and I would like to learn Kaqchiquel dialect someday. My favorite season is summer because I have school vacation and play with my friends. I usually eat cake with my family for my birthday. I like playing soccer, and I love drinking cold tea and juices. Living Water is very important in my life because I have been blessed materially and spiritually. I wish you the best.

All the best
