My Story

Hello!  I greet you cordially and I wish you a blessed and successful day.  I am Dominga Micaela Marisol Garcia Grave and I am 10 years old.  I want to tell you that we continue attending the Catholic Church every Wednesday and Thursday. We are grateful to the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words to my grandmother during the visit, and she is sure of her salvation in Jesus. Thank God, this year I studied the 2^nd grade at school. I received face-to-face classes every day and learned a lot with this study method. Nowadays, school fees are expensive, but my mother made an effort to support me with school expenses. Sometimes, it was difficult for her to cover every expense. In the future, I want to become a teacher. My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, but I would like to learn English which is a very interesting language. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because our custom is to light fireworks. I like to drink Coca-Cola.  Among sports, I prefer soccer. What I like to do for my birthday is to eat a delicious cake. Thank God, my family and I are in good health.

As you know, my mother abandoned the family 8 years ago and we continue living under my grandmother`s care.  Her name is Domina De La Cruz.  She is 55 years old. She is a housewife. In addition, she raises hens to sell and get some income. My father`s name is Jose Maria Garcia De La Cruz.  He is 35 years old. Nowadays, he continues working as a farmer and day laborer in order to support the family financially. Moreover, he grows corn for our family`s consumption. As a needy and humble family, our current needs are corn, groceries, clothes, and shoes. We are very grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive every year`s end through LW.  I hope you enjoy reading my letter. May God bless you greatly!

Kisses and hugs,

Dominga Micaela Marisol Garcia Grave
