My Story

I fondly greet you through this letter hoping you are doing great with your loved ones. My name is Jasson Jefferson Hernandez Hernandez, and I am a happy and healthy 10-year-old boy. I am in first grade this year again. I have face-to-face classes Monday to Friday. I have struggled to understand the material. I do not have internet access. Also, I wanted to tell you that I have missed attending the feeding center and enjoying the delicious meals.

Both of my parents live with me. My father works in a shop that makes bricks and roof tiles, and he covers our needs. My mother is a hardworking housewife and takes care of my sibling and me. I have one sister. I am happy to say that my whole family is healthy, and that God has been taking care of us. We spend time together by chatting and drinking a soda in the afternoon. And for Christmas, we make tamales and punch to enjoy them as a family. We attend a church called Prince of Peace, and it takes us 15 minutes to walk to it. We were sad when the church closed due to the pandemic because we missed congregating with our brothers and sisters in Christ. I live in a town called Zacualpa, and it takes me 15 minutes to walk to the feeding center. My humble house has walls made of block, the roof is made of concrete, and the floor is made of ceramic tiles. There are three rooms and a separate kitchen. We have both running water and electricity at home. The house is owned by my family. The condition of the house is stable thankfully. Our family’s finances were affected by COVID-19. We went through a difficult time because our income decreased. But God has always been faithful to us, and we made it through. Our greatest need is groceries. Please, take care of yourself and I hope to hear from you soon. Many blessings!

The Living Waters Evangelism Team is speaking to families in Quiche by phone call. They spoke to my father to receive information pertaining to me.

Kind regards and blessings,

Jasson Jefferson Hernandez Hernandez
