My Story

Hello! How are you? This is Lesbia Patricia Naz Jimon, and I hope my letter finds you well. I am taking this opportunity to update my 2023 information. My family and I are now attending the Catholic Church on Monday and Friday. We are assured of our Salvation. We have hens, turkeys and pigs, and we sell them to improve our income. We also grow corn and black beans, but they are for our consumption. My parents are in good health. My father’s name is Jose, and he is 52 years old. He works as a mason helper to support the family. My mother’s name is Margarita, and she is 52 years old. She works hard at home and looks after our domestic animals. I ask for your prayers for my parents because they are struggling to cover my siblings’ and my school expenses.

Now, I want to share with you about my personal dreams and tastes. I want to become a psychologist when I am older. I also would like to learn English language someday. I like playing soccer and drinking lemonade. I love winter time because of the rain. We do not have the custom to celebrate our birthday due to our low resources. I am in 10^th grade this year, and it is the first year of my professional career with a major in education. I am 16 years old now, and thankfully, I am in good health. Living Water and you are very important for me because I am blessed with food and medicine through the feeding program. I end my letter wishing you the best and praying God blesses you in a big way.

Warm greetings

Lesbia Patricia Naz Jimon
