My Story

It is wonderful day to greet you through this and I hope our Heavenly Father is blessings you! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Rock of Power Christian Church; we go on Sundays. This time LW staff shared the gospel with us, and we appreciate it so much. I am so thankful to God because my family and I are healthy. My father is Julio Roberto Jerez Perez, and he is 36 years old. He makes a living by farming the land, and he supports the family´s needs. My mother is Maria Andres Pedro, and she is 33 years old. She is working on a coffee farm, and she is in charge of moving the coffee beans in the yard so can dry. We grow corn and black beans for the family's consumption. We have a cat.

I am Julio Alexander Jerez Andres, and I am a 12-year-old boy. I am a fifth-grade student; my learning has improved because now I receive classes at school. My parents are striving to support me at school, but is hard for them because of a lack of resources. When I grow up, I would like to become a policeman. The language I would like to learn is English; it is so interesting. The climate I prefer is summer because my family can take advantage to go to the beach; I like to play in the sea. About drinks, my favorite is Coca-Cola. The sport I like the most is football. I feel so happy when my birthday comes because my family is with me; I love them. My family and I are so thankful for all the support I receive through Living Water which is so helpful for us. Since we are a humble and needy family, our greatest needs are groceries. I send all my love and I hope to hear from you very soon. Many blessings!

Warm greetings,

Julio Alexander Jerez Andres
