My Story

Hello! I fondly write this letter, hoping you find it engaging. I am Ana Veronica Coj Tzoy, and I live in Tunaja village. Fortunately, I am a healthy 16-year-old girl. I keep busy helping my mom with the housework. I am grateful to the Lord for keeping me alive. I remember that I got seriously sick some years ago. My family prayed and God healed me. That challenging experience taught me the Lord is powerful. Today, I attend the Catholic church alongside my parents. I have learned to love Jesus because He is God’s son who came to save me from sin. The activity I enjoy the most at church is the anniversary.

I want you to know that thank God, my parents are doing well. I identify with my father because he is gentle and understanding. He makes a living as a day laborer and a farmer. On the other hand, my mother keeps busy doing the chores. She also raises and sells chickens to contribute to the expenses. I want to tell you that my best friend’s name is Manuel. We usually gather to shepherd sheep and play soccer with other children. This is all for now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my information.

With many blessings,

Ana Veronica Coj Tzoy
