My Story

I wish you a brilliant day and I hope you are blessed by our Lord Jesus. I want to share some news about my family and me through this letter. I am Lidia Ruiz Luis and I am 17 years old. Thank God we continue attending the Prince of Peace Church every Monday and Saturday. We thank the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words. As you know, I am not studying, but I help my mother with chores at home. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because we eat “tamales” (a typical dish). “mosh” is what I like to drink (a hot drink made with oatmeal). I do not celebrate my birthday due to a lack of financial resources. By the grace of God, my family and I are in good health.

My mother`s name is Cecilia Luis Hernandez. She is 34 years old. At the moment, she is a housewife and she carries firewood for others. In addition, she is raising hens and pigs to sell and get some income. As you know, my biological father abandoned the family 9 years ago. Nowadays, my stepfather Hugo Efrain Ruiz Ajqui continues supporting us with home expenses. Currently, he lives in Guatemala City and continues earning a living by carrying veggie packages from one place to another place. He comes to our house every 2 or 3 months. We grow corn for the family`s consumption. As a humble family, our current need is corn. We are grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive at the end of the year. I hope you like to read my letter. May God bless you!

Warm regards,

Lidia Ruiz Luis
