My Story

It is a beautiful day to say hello to you and I trust that our Lord is blessing you! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Full Gospel Church; we go on Saturdays and Sundays. We have already accepted Jesus in our hearts, but we appreciate so much the encouraging words that LW staff gave us this time. My mother is Maria Esperanza Tum Pu, and she is 32 years old. She tries to help with the income by washing clothes for other people in the village. Moreover, she raises hens to sell. My father is Juan Coj Calachij, and he is 35 years old. He is employed as both a farmer and a day laborer; he does his best to supply the home expenses. We grow corn for the family's consumption. My family is fine, but I want to ask for your prayers for my mother who is having cramps in her neck. She visited a doctor and is taking her medicines.

This is Luis Miguel Coj Tum, and I am already 6 years old. This year I am not attending school. Last year, I was in kindergarten, but I did not like it. Nevertheless, my parents told me that next year I will have to go. At the moment, I help my family to feed our chickens. When I grow up, I would like to look for a job and supply my needs on my own. My favorite drinks are water and juices. Playing football is so much fun; it is my favorite sport. I like Christmas time because I receive a gift in the feeding program; it makes me so happy. I get so happy when my birthday comes, and my family celebrates with a cake and a lunch; I love it. Being part of Living Water is a big blessing for me because I receive tasty meals, and it is so helpful for my family and me. At home, the top priorities are groceries and corn. I send much love hoping to receive news from you very soon. Sending all my love. Every kind of blessing to you!

Huge hugs,

Luis Miguel Coj Tum
