My Story

Hello! How are you? I greet you with much love hoping you are doing well wherever you are. This is Maria Magdalena Tzoy Ruiz, your sponsored child. I am happy to write you this letter and tell you about my family and me. I am doing a good job at school, and I am now in 6^th grade. I study in the mornings, and I help with the household chores on weekends. I live with my mother and grandparents in a village called Pasojoc I, and my house is located near the feeding program. My mother is a deaf-mute person, so she stays at home doing the chores and shepherding our sheep; thankfully, she is in good health. My grandparents, Terezo Tzoy and Catarina Ruiz, are who support us financially. My grandpa is a farmer, and my grandma is a housewife; she used to sell candies outside the feeding program but she stopped due to her age.

Living Water and you have blessed my life with lunches and medicine, and I am very grateful for that. My favorite dish at the feeding program is fried chicken. Christmas celebration at the program is beautiful, and I like to receive my present at that time of the year. As a family, we have accepted Jesus in our hearts, and we attend LW Church called Liberty in Pasojoc. I tell you that my grandpa helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher, and I want to take advantage of this to ask for your prayers for my grandparents; they are very important to me. I end my letter wishing you the best. May God bless you!

Kisses and hugs

Maria Magdalena Tzoy Ruiz
