My Story

I am so excited to share my information through this and I hope you are doing well! My name is Mario Alexander Hernandez Xorxe. My current age is 17 years old. We are members of the Full Gospel Church; the activities we enjoy the most are the First Fruit service and the anniversary of the Church. My mom has Christ in her heart and trusts her salvation in Him; without faith, there is no chance to go the heaven. We appreciate the kind words an evangelism teacher gave us this time to continue trusting in God. My dad does farm and day laborer work. He only finds three or four days of work weekly and it affects our economy. My mom does the household work and raises hens and pigs for selling. Moreover, she goes to sell clothes with our neighbors to get more income. I want to tell you that my mom suffers from high blood pressure; she receives medical care in the local health center and takes medicines to stay stable. She puts her health in God´s hands.

Unfortunately, I did not pass my grade last year and I am now repeating 5^th grade. Juan and I have been friends since childhood; our hobby is to play football. I admire my mom because she is a hard-working woman and does her best for each of us. As a family, we have faced the drought in our community. The crops were really damaged and it means a lack of work for farmers. However, we are very thankful to God because He has never left us without food on our table. We recognize Jesus is our father and our healer. I would like you to know that my mom, Tomasa, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. This is all for now. May God bless you wherever you go!

Warm hugs,

Mario Alexander Hernandez Xorxe
