My Story

This is Marvin Jose Alfredo Perez Chingo, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are still members of Prince of Peace Church, and we attend the services on Friday. We have accepted Jesus in our hearts. We raise hens and grow corn for the family consumption. We are a humble family, and our needs are groceries and corn. My father’s name is Miguel, but he is not part of my life. My mother’s name is Magdalena. She is 31 years old, and she is in good health. She works hard at home and takes care of us. She established a new relationship with Mr. Victor Garcia, and he is working as a mason helper to support us.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11years old, and I am healthy. I am in fourth grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because I share more time with my friends. It has been difficult for my mother to cover my school expenses because she sometimes does not have much money. I want to become a truck driver when I am older. My favorite celebration is Christmas because we eat “tamales”. I enjoy receiving presents for my birthday. I prefer football as a sport, and I love drinking sodas like Pepsi. I would like to learn English language someday. Living Water and you very important in my life, and we are grateful for our delicious food. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
