My Story

This is Wendy Eugenia Tino Coj, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are members of Church of Christ, and we attend the service twice a week. We have accepted Jesus in our hearts. We raise hens and pigs, and we grow corn and black beans for our consumption. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries. My father’s name is Mariano. He is 30 years old, and he is in good health. He works as a mechanic helper in our town to support us. My mother’s name is Berta. She is 30 years old, and she is in good health too. She works hard at home and takes care of us.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 3^rd grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because I learn more and the teacher explains better how we have to do our homework. It has been difficult for my parents to cover my studies because they have other expenses. I want to become a firefighter when I am older. My favorite season is summer because we go out for a walk and go to swim. I would like to receive presents on my birthday. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking sodas like Pepsi. I have to improve my Spanish since I speak Quiche dialect as my first language. Living Water is very important in my life, and I am grateful for the delicious food received. I hope to hear from you soon.

With much love
