My Story

I send you warm greetings from Guatemala, and I hope my letter reaches you in the right time. I am doing well, and I already turned 8. I tell you that I was registered in 1^st grade this year, but I only went to school for a couple of months; I practically abandoned my studies. I am now playing football and accompanying my mom; she is the member of my family with whom I identify most. Dilan and Erick are my friends, and we like playing toys cars and football together. Every Christmas, it is a great blessing for me to receive a present at the feeding program, and I can feel God’s love and yours through it; it is a beautiful experience every year.

I live with my family in a village called Potrero Viejo I. We are attending a Methodist Church Rock of Salvation, and we love it when there are fasting services. For me, Jesus is a God of love who always forgives my sins. We are secure in our Salvation, and LW Evangelism team encouraged us to continue seeking God. My mother works hard to cover our needs, and it has been difficult for her since we no longer have my father’s support. She weaves typical blankets, and she also raises hens and pigs for selling. Thankfully, she is in good health, and she is part of WIN project at Living Water. My oldest sister helped me with this letter, and I hope you like it. I say goodbye to you for now.

With much love
