This is Elida Yasmin Yanira Yat Choc, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. Currently, we are members of Lamb of God Church, and we attend the services on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We have one cat as a pet. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries, beds and a wardrobe. My father’s name is Eduardo. He is 47 years old, and he is in good health. He is now working as a garbage collector to support us. My mother’s name is Amalia. She is 39 years old, and she is in good health too. She sells typical homemade snacks in the afternoons to help with the income.
Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 15 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 8th grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because it is easier to understand my teacher. It has been difficult for my father to cover my school expenses because he does not have a stable job and my other siblings are studying too. I want to become a bilingual secretary when I am older. My favorite celebration is Christmas because I share good moments with my family. I enjoy eating cake with my family when it is my birthday. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking sodas like Coca-Cola. I would like to learn English language in the future. Living Water is very important in my life because I have received material and spiritual support. I hope to hear from you soon.
Warm greetings
