Kind regards to you! This is Juana Cecilia Pol Tzoc, and I want to share my 2024 news with you through this letter. I hope this update finds you in good health. As you know, I was diagnosed with mental retardation. However, I am doing well by the grace of God. I am 21 years old, and I work as a day laborer. I have days off on weekends, so I take advantage of doing the household chores at my house. Let me tell you that it has been a great blessing to receive medicine for free at LW-Adopt A Child. Besides that, I can have delicious food at the feeding program, like chicken stew. That is my favorite food! I like celebrating Christmas at the program because the staff and volunteers perform nice choreographies.
Talking about my family, let me tell you that everybody is in good health. My father makes a living as a day laborer, and so does my mom. They do their best to support our family financially. We raise hens and a few cows to sell to get extra money. We also grow corn for our consumption. I appreciate the LW staff because they shared the gospel with my oldest sister. That was a great blessing for her. They also encouraged our family to seek God and attend church since we have not done it yet. Please pray for my family and me so we can do it soon. I also ask you to pray for our health. In advance, thank you so much! I say goodbye to you now, but I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Juana Cecilia Pol Tzoc
