My Story

It is my pleasure to send my greetings through this and I hope you are fine! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Methodist Church, and we go on Monday and Friday. This time LW staff gave us encouraging words to continue seeking God and trust our salvation in Him. My father is Pedro Canil Guarcas, and he is 44 years old. He works as a farmer and day laborer to supply the family needs. My mother is Juana Garcia, and she is 44 years old. She stays busy with the duties at home, and she also raises hens, pigs, and a cow to sell when they are big. Moreover, she weaves typical items to sell and get some extra income. My father grows corn for our consumption. My family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord.

This is Karla Jimena Canil Garcia, and I am a 13-year-old girl. I no longer attend school, for now, I stay at home, and I help with the chores. I am also learning how to embroider napkins. I would like to travel to the United States, and then, I can help my family. So, I would like to learn English; I think it is a very interesting language. I love drinking banana smoothies. Marathon is the sport I like the most. My family and I have the custom of eating bread with honey during Holy Week; it is a special time for me. On my birthday, I love that my family prays for me to give thanks to the Lord to start a new year of life. Being part of Living Water is a great blessing for me because we feel supported by the program, and it is good to feel this; my family and I appreciate it so much. My family needs groceries, and corn. I send much love hoping to receive news from you soon. Every kind of blessing to you!

Best wishes,

Karla Jimena Canil Garcia
