My Story

I fondly greet you through this letter, hoping you enjoy reading my information. I am Macario Alberto Chingo Chingo and I want you to know that my mother helped me to write this letter. I am 8 years old and I am in second grade. I am pleased to tell you that I like attending the feeding program because I receive Bible lessons and I pray for my meals. Moreover, I can receive medical and dental care, which was been a great blessing. My mother told me that she had the opportunity to attend this charity organization when she was a child, so she felt motivated to take my older sister and me there. She remembers that she used to get her meals alongside other children. I want you to know that my whole family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord’s care.

My parents strive to provide my sister and me with everything that we need. My father works hard in a plant nursery, while my mother weaves typical clothes and does the cleaning for others. My sister and I usually contribute with the chores since my parents come back home tired. I usually sweep, while my sister make tortillas or does other chores. We do not attend any church at the moment, but I hope we can do it soon. My mother recently was encouraged to look for God by a member of the LW staff. She also could listen to the gospel, which was a blessing. It is time to say goodbye, but I kindly ask you to pray for my whole family so that God keeps us in good health and gives my parents strength to continue moving forward. Until next time!

Best wishes,

Macario Alberto Chingo Chingo
