My Story

This is Antonio Jose Carrascoza Mendez, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are still members of Liberty Church, and we attend the services on Wednesday and Sunday We are assured of our Salvation. We raise hens and grow “guisquiles” at home. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries. My father’s name is Jose. He is 53 years old, and he is in good health. He works looking after cows, and he only sends us a little money for our needs. My mother’s name is Olga. She is 47 years old, and she is in good health too. She works hard at home and takes care of us.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11 years old, and I am fine. I am in 5^th grade, and I am happy to attend school in person because I have my teacher and classmates’ company. It has been difficult for my mother to cover my school expenses because my father’s support is not enough for it. I want to become a firefighter when I am older. My favorite celebration is Christmas because I light fireworks. I enjoy eating cake and sharing it with my family when it is my birthday. I prefer soccer and swimming as sports, and I love drinking juices and sodas like Pepsi. It would be incredible to learn English someday. Living Water is very important in my life because I have been supported in the most difficult moments. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
