My Story

Dear Sponsor,

Hello! How is your day? I am very happy to greet you through this letter and I hope you are doing well together with your loved ones. I am grateful to have my family with me. I tell you that I live with my parents and I have three brothers and one sister. Thank God, we are all in good health. My father works in a plant nursery in Santa Cruz del Quiche from Monday to Saturday.  He returns home on Sunday and spends that day with us. My mother works hard at home and she takes care of us. I love studying and I attended third grade this year.  My favorite subject was communication and language. I am now on vacation so I am helping my mother with the household chores.

In my free time, I watch TV and play tag and football. We celebrate Christmas in my family and it is a happy day for me. We prepare “tamales and ponche” for the dinner and light some fireworks. I would like to work in a grocery store when I am older in order to help my family financially. My family attends church and I enjoy singing praises and hearing the preaching. We pray and ask for God’s help when we are passing through difficult situations. I want to ask you to pray for my family and me. I thank you for all the support you are giving to Living Water.  I say goodbye to you for now hoping to have good news from you soon. May God bless and take care of you!

With much love

Byron Adonias Toj Garcia
