My Story

Hello! It is a beautiful day to greet you by this letter; God bless you! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Catholic Church, and we go on Tuesdays. We are thankful to the LW staff because they shared the gospel and gave us encouraging words to continue seeking God. I am healthy and so is my family. My father is Simeon, and he is 57 years old. He is part of the leaders at church and receives an offering. My mother is Juana, and she is 56 years old. She works hard at home and raises hens and cows for selling and contributes to the income. My father grows corn and black beans just for the family´s consumption.

I am Adriana Petronila Luis Ildefonso, and I am a 12-year-old girl. I am a sixth-grade student, and my learning is going well since my classes are at school. Nowadays, school supplies are expensive, so my parents are striving to support me in my studies. Later, I would like to work as a maid and help my family economically. The language I would like to learn is English; it is so interesting. I love drinking orange juice because it is delicious. The sport I like the most is basketball. I like Christmas time because we remember Jesus was born; it is a very special time. I enjoy playing and sharing time with my friends on my birthday; they make my day. Being part of the Living Water program is a great blessing for me because I receive tasty meals and dental and medical attention. The greatest needs are groceries, corn and clothes. Be safe. Many rich blessings on your daily activities!

Hugs and much love,

Adriana Petronila Luis Ildefonso
