My Story

I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are in good health together with your loved ones. My name is Ingrid Froridalma Ruiz Benito and I am eleven years old. I am in the fourth grade at school and I am receiving two hours of classes every Tuesday. The teachers assign us homework for the rest of the week, and I deliver it the same day that I go to school. I am not learning well due to the new study method. My father works as a day laborer and he is supplying the family needs. My mother cleans the house and tends sheep. Sometimes, she weaves typical bags called ¨morrales¨ for selling. Fortunately, one of my brothers works in a grocery store and contributes with the incomes. The covid-19 situation affected us because my brother and my father did not have jobs for a time, but thank God, we received support from the feeding program and we received groceries.

My family and I thank Living Water because it was a great blessing for us to receive their support in the most difficult times. We have seen God´s faithfulness in our lives because we have not gotten sick from the covid-19 virus, and we always have had something to eat at home. Fortunately, we all are in good health. We are attending Prince of Peace Church and we are receiving four hours of preaching every Monday. I want to let you know that one of the evangelism teachers called my mother and she was the one who gave this information about me; it was by phone due to the situation that we are living in. I say goodbye to you for now. May God bless you and take care of you!

Many hugs and Kisses,

Ingrid Froridalma Ruiz Benito
