My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you though this letter hoping our Lord is blessing you! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Hebron Mount Church; we go on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. This time LW staff shared the gospel with us, and we appreciate it. My family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord. Selvin Arnoldo Gomez Flores is my stepfather, and he is 31 years old. He makes a living by working as a blacksmith and he is helping us with the income. My mother is Jackelin Sulema Ramon Silvestre, and she is 31 years old. She has a small business at home; she sells silver jewelry for credit. My biological father was Angel Josue Palacios, but he already passed away.

I am Hugo Abiel Calixto Palacios Roman, and I am a 13-year-old boy. I am a sixth-grade student; I receive classes at school, and I am learning a lot. Nowadays, school supplies are very expensive, and it is hard for my family to cover them because of a lack of resources. I want to continue with my studies and become a lawyer in the future. I would like to learn English; I think it is a very interesting language. Football is the sport I like the most. My favorite drinks are natural juices. Christmas is my favorite season of the year; I like the gifts; I receive one in the feeding program, and it makes me so happy. To celebrate my birthday, my family gets together, and we eat pizza and a cake; I love it. Being part of Living Water has blessed my life through the tasty meal I receive, and the medical care in the clinics which is so helpful for me and my family. At home, the greatest needs are groceries. Sending much love. Many and abundant blessings to you!

Bunch of hugs,

Hugo Abiel Calixto Palacios Roman
