My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you by this letter hoping you are receiving many blessings from God. Praise the Lord, we continue attending Adulam Church. We appreciate that LW staff is worried about our spiritual life. They gave us encouraging words to seek God. My mother is Nereida and she is 36 years old. She earns a living by doing cleaning for a company, and she is the one who supplies our needs. On this occasion, I want to ask for your prayers for my mother because she is having problems with her womb and is under medical treatment at the Social Security of Guatemala. About my health, I am quite well, even though I am allergic to the cold weather. I want to share something sad about my father; he abandoned us years ago, and recently, I found out that he died. One day some relatives were looking for me to give me the sad news about my father. Even though he abandoned me, I loved him the way he was.

This is Ernesto Benjamin, and I am 16 years old. I am attending the second year of my career, which is a training in Sciences and Arts with an orientation in computing. I receive my classes at school, and I like to study in this way because I am learning a lot. For my mother, it is hard covering the school expenses alone, but she is giving me the chance to be a professional; I thank her for her struggles for me. So, please pray for her. My dream is to have my own company, and I know I will have to work hard to accomplish my goal. I want to tell you the French language catches my attention, and I would like to learn how to speak it. I like soccer, and it is the sport I like the most. The time I love is Christmas because of the presents, and we go out to visit my grandma; I like sharing time with my family. On my birthday, I spend time with my family; I feel so happy to be surrounded by them. I like drinking hibiscus flower juice. My mother and I are greatly thankful to you and Living Water for blessing us through the program; God bless you and everyone who blesses the Guatemalan people. At home, our priority need is food. Thank you so much for loving me. Many blessings!

Kind regards,

Ernesto Benjamin Axpuac Flores
