My Story

It is a wonderful day to greet you in the name of Jesus and I hope you are doing great! Praise the Lord my family and I attend a Christian Church; we go on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. This time LW staff encouraged us to continue seeking God. Thankfully, I am healthy and as well my family. My mother is Dulce Maria Ortiz Jimenez, and she is 26 years old. She is a housewife and takes care of me and my sister. My father is Jose Guadalupe Tiul Lopez, and he is 26 years old. He makes a living by washing dishes in a hotel; he is the one who supplies the family's needs. We have a dog as a pet.

I am Maria Fernanda Tiul Ortiz, and I am a 6-year-old girl. I attend kindergarten; I receive my classes at school and my learning is going well. Fortunately, my parents have the possibilities to cover what I need at school. When I grow up, I would like to be a policeman. The language I would like to learn is English; it is so interesting. The sport I like the most is swimming. I want to tell you that I like to drink pure water; it is healthy. At Christmas, I have a joyful time with my family, and I also play with my sister and cousins. My parents try to celebrate our birthdays and make us feel so happy on our special day. They prepare a delicious lunch, and I love it. I am so grateful to Living Water for providing me with tasty meals, and medical care in the clinics; it is so useful for me and my family. My family needs groceries; we always believe in God's providence. Sending much love to you hoping to receive news from you very soon. May God bless you greatly!

Many hugs,

Maria Fernanda Tiul Ortiz
