My Story

Hello! I greet you in the name of Jesus and I wish you a blessed day. I want to share with you a little about my family and me.  I am Cristian Isaias Garcia Jimon and I am 11 years old.  At the moment, we continue attending the Methodist Church every Monday and Friday. We are grateful to the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words to my mother during the visit and she is sure of her salvation in Jesus. This year I studied the 4^th grade at school. I received face-to-face classes every day and learned a lot with this study method, and I enjoyed attending. Nowadays, school fees are expensive, but my parents made an effort to support my sister and me with school expenses. Sometimes, it was difficult to cover every expense. My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, but where we live, we speak Spanish, so I would like to improve my Spanish speaking skills. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because our custom is to light fireworks. I like to drink milk.  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.

My mother`s name is Cecilia Jimon Tino. She is 43 years old. Nowadays, she continues doing chores at home and taking care of the family. Moreover, she raises hens to sell and get some income.  Sometimes, the hens that she raises are for our consumption. My father`s name is Manuel Garcia Panjoj. He is 48 years old. He continues earning a living by working as a farmer and day laborer in order to support our family financially. In addition, he grows corn for our family`s consumption.  As a needy and humble family, our current needs are groceries. 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 like to read my letter. May God bless you greatly!

Lots of love,

Cristian Isaias Garcia Jimon
