My Story

It is a beautiful day to say hello to you and I trust our Lord is taking care of you! This time LW staff shared the gospel with us and encouraged us to look for a church and seek God; we appreciate the advice. We are fairly well at home, but I want you to pray for my mother’s health. She suffers from high blood pressure; she has visited a doctor and is taking medicine for it. My father is Carlos Francisco Ixchop Chiroy, and he is 44 years old. He makes a living by cleaning cars in the street; he does not earn very much. My mother is Evelyn Marilu Munoz Alvarez, and she is 31 years old. She tries to help my father with the income by cleaning houses for other people. My pet is a cat.

This is Katerin Maritza Ixchop Munoz, and I am 14 years old. I attend 7^th grade; since I receive classes at school my learning is going better. My parents are doing their best to support my siblings and me at school, but sometimes, they do not have enough resources. My dream is to continue with my studies and become a secretary. The language I want to learn is English because it is very interesting for me. The sport I like the most is basketball. About drinks, I like sodas, especially Coca-Cola. Christmas time is very special for me; I love the cheerful environment. On my birthday, my family celebrates me with a cake and pizza, and they love me so much. I take this opportunity to give thanks for all support I receive through Living Water; the meals are a great blessing for me, and it is an economic savings for my family. At home, the primary needs are groceries and a wardrobe. Sending all my love. May God bless in your daily activities!

Kisses and hugs,

Katerin Maritza Ixchop Munoz
