My Story

I greet you fondly, hoping in God you are doing well wherever you are. This is Olga, and I feel joy to share a little about my life with you. I attend a Christian Church called Christian Life. My family and I usually attend our services on Mondays and Fridays. I am so happy because LW has blessed me with delicious food and spiritual support. A teacher of the evangelism team shared the gospel with my mother to encourage our family through her to continue loving the Almighty. He took advantage of that moment to collect this information for you. My mother,

Juana Tzoy is 47 years old. She keeps busy at home while my father works outside. He makes some money by carrying firewood to sell. His name is Eusebio Castro and he is 51 years old. Unfortunately, my father does not earn much money, and it is hard enough to buy food. Therefore, I would like to count on your prayers for us.

Despite all, God has never left us alone. Our health is in good condition. I am already teen years old and I attend school as a fourth grader. I am happy because classes are face-to-face; I am learning so much better. I look forward to becoming a teacher when I am older. Besides, I would like to speak Spanish someday since my native language is the Quiche dialect. My favorite sport is soccer and I like drinking water. Christmas is the best time to enjoy tasty and warm tamales. I love celebrating birthdays, especially if it is mine. When it comes, my parents strive a lot to gather enough resources and buy a tasty cake for me. Thank you so much for reading my letter! I hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself!

With much love,

Olga Elizabeth Castro Tzoy
