My Story

I send you all my love and pray that our Lord blesses you greatly! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Ebenezer Church; we go on Sundays. My family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord. My father abandoned us several years ago and we do not know nothing about him. My mother is Clara Luz Pur Lopez, and she is 49 years old. She makes a living by cleaning houses to get income and cover our family´s needs. We have a cat as a pet.

I am Emily Elizabeth Pur Lopez, and I am 16 years old. I am repeating 7^th grade; my learning has improved since I receive classes at school. My mother is the one who covers my schooling, and it is hard for her because she does not earn very much. When I grow up, I would like to be a veterinarian. I would like to learn English; I think it is very interesting language. The sport I like the most is football. My favorite drink is lemonade is delicious. I like the Christmas season because of the nice environment, and I meet up with my friends and I have a lot of fun together. My mother tries to do something on my birthday; if she has money invites me to eat someplace, I like when it happens. Being part of the Living Water is a big blessing for me because I receive food, medical care in the clinics and most important spiritual support. At home, the primary need for us is groceries, clothes and school support. I am sending much love and I hope to receive news from you very soon. May God bless you always!

Best wishes,

Emily Elizabeth Pur Lopez
