My Story

Hello! I feel so blessed to be part of the feeding program from Living Water and receive a big support. My name is Erick Fernando Garcia Lemus. I am 14 years old. We do not attend church. I recognize Jesus is God´s son and He is my father too. I appreciate with all my heart that an evangelism teacher prayed and encouraged me to trust in God and have faith that things will be better with time. My dad does masonry work and supplies our home needs. My mom works stocking dairy products in “La Torre” supermarket. This time I want to open my heart and share with you that sadly my parents got separated in December of last year. Emotionally, it has been so sad for me, and I want you to keep me in your prayers so I can accept my parents’ decisions and continue with my life. Now, my mom comes to visit us every week and gives groceries to us every month. My older sister loves us and tries to help us as much as she can. My paternal grandma loves me so much and has been supporting me since my mom left.

I am a seventh-grade student. I have a friend named Hugo; we like to play ball and do the homework together. We have been friends for two years. As I have said, my parents' separation has been so difficult for me; nevertheless, God has been my strength, and I hope to overcome little by little. Thankfully, my family and I are in good health. I would like you to know that I shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. This is all for now and I hope to hear news from you. May God bless you!

Warm hugs,

Erick Fernando Garcia Lemus
