My Story

Hello! I am Marvin Leonel Garcia Hernandez, and I am so happy to share my updated information with you. I turned 16 years old in February, and I am in eighth grade. My family and I went to Puerto San Jose beach this year. This was a lovely experience, which we enjoyed so much! I know God took care of us. I have learned so much about Jesus, so I can say that we are nothing without Him. I am a catholic boy. My family and I like attending Mass and seeing the colorful alfombras (carpets made of sawdust) on the streets during Lent and Holy Week.   

I want you to know that my mom came back from the United States about nine months ago. She is working as a domestic employee in Guatemala City. Therefore, my sister and I still live under the care of my grandmother. My mom visits us every 15 days. I identify with my grandmother because she loves me. When I asked her for help writing this letter for you, she was glad to do it. I want to tell you that my best friend’s name is Rafael. I met him about three years ago. We usually play soccer when we are together. It is time to say goodbye, but I hope to hear from you soon. Have a nice day! 

In the name of Jesus,  

Marvin Leonel Garcia Hernandez
