My Story

Hello! I greet you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you and your family are doing fine and blessed by God.  I am Pablo Estuardo Garcia Grave and I am 14 years old.  I want to tell you that we continue attending the Catholic Church every Wednesday and Thursday. We are grateful to the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words to my grandmother during the visit, and she is sure of her salvation in Jesus. This year I only registered at school, but I did not attend because I did not want to. Currently, I am helping with chores at home. My dream is to become a merchandiser. My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, but I would like to learn English which is a very interesting language. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because our custom is to light fireworks. I like to drink Pepsi-Cola.  Among sports, I prefer soccer. What I like to do for my birthday is to eat a delicious cake. Thank God, my family and I are in good health.

As you know, my mother abandoned the family 8 years ago, and we continue living under my grandmother`s care.  Her name is Domina De La Cruz.  She is 55 years old. She is a housewife. In addition, she raises hens to sell and get some income. My father`s name is Jose Maria Garcia De La Cruz.  He is 35 years old. Nowadays, he continues working as a farmer and day laborer in order to support the family financially. Moreover, he grows corn for our family`s consumption. As a needy and humble family, our current needs are corn, groceries, clothes, and shoes. We are very grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive every year`s end through LW.  I hope you like to read my letter. May God bless you and take care of you always!

Warm regards,

Pablo Estuardo Garcia Grave
