My Story

This is Janeth Nohemi Larios Mendez, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are not attending a church because we do not have much time. We are grateful to LW Evangelism team because they have shared the gospel. We raise hens for selling, and we grow corn and black beans for our consumption. We are a humble family, and our needs are groceries and clothes. My parents are not with me because, sadly, my mother passed away, and my father abandoned me. I live with my grandmother, Tomasa, and she covers our needs. She works hard at home and raises domestic animals.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11 years old, and I am healthy. I do not attend school, so I keep at home doing the household chores. I want to become a merchant when I am older. My favorite celebration is Christmas because my family gets together, and we share a delicious lunch. We do not have the custom to celebrate our birthday due to our low resources. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking orange sodas. Living Water is very important in my life, and I am grateful for the delicious food. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
