My Story

Hello! How are you? I hope you are doing well. I am Julio Fernando Maldonado Ixchop, and I am writing this to tell you about my life and family. We are not attending church. LW Evangelism team encouraged us to seek God, and we are grateful for their words. We have one cat at home. At the moment, our greatest needs are clothes and shoes. My father’s name is Luis, and he earns a living by processing documents from other people. My mother’s name is Marta, and she works as a street vendor; she usually sells fruit and plastic shoes. My parents are in good health.

I am 14 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 8^th grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because the teacher explains better. Everything is more expensive now; and our resources are not good, so it has been difficult for my parents to cover my school expenses. I would like to become a professional chef when I am older. I like Childrens’ day celebration because we receive presents. My favorite drinks are coffee and hibiscus juice. I enjoy eating pizza with my family for my birthday. It would be incredible to learn English someday. The sport that I like most is soccer. Living Water is very important and a great blessing in my life. I end my letter hoping you find it interesting.

All the best

Julio Fernando Maldonado Ixchop
