My Story

Hello! How are you? I pray God blesses you wherever you are. Thankfully, my family is fine and healthy. My parents are working hard to cover our needs. My mother is in charge of doing all the housework and taking care of us. On the other hand, my father continues working in Guatemala City. He tends a grocery store, and he comes home every 3 or 4 months. He faithfully sends money for our needs, and he calls us by phone every 2 days. I tell you that he was part of the feeding program when he was younger and it was a beautiful experience for him; he remembers that the food was delicious. For all this, he felt free to send my siblings and me to the program. I have been part of it for 4 years.

I am in good health, and I am 9 years old now. I am doing fine, and this year, I am in 2^nd grade. In my free time, I help with some household chores. I love the hot weather because I like playing with water. I would like to become a musician and serve God in that area. We are members of one church called New Covenant Prince of Peace. I like my church because we are like a big family. We are sharing our house with my paternal grandparents, uncles and cousins, and we also share the home expenses with them. I say goodbye to you for now.

Sincerely yours

Gerson Misael Luis Acabal
