My Story

It is a pleasure to greet you through this and I trust that our Lord is blessings you! This time LW staff shared the gospel with us and invited us to attend a church and seek God; we appreciate the advice. We all are in good health, thanks to God. I want to tell you that I am having a Dyslexia problem which is affecting my learning and speaking. My parents took me to the doctor, and he said that it is something that can improve over time; I trust in God that it will. My mother is Glenda Elizabeth Sal Lopez, and she is 29 years old. Most of the time she stays busy with the housework and watching over my sister and me. My father is Alvaro Alfonso Chiquito, and he is 29 years old. He does the best to supply the family´s needs; he is a construction assistant, but he does not have a stable job. My pet is a dog.

I am Ana Elizabeth Chiquito Sal, and I am a 10-year-old girl. I am repeating second grade; I receive classes at school which helps my learning to improve, and I also can play with my classmates. Nowadays, school supplies are so expensive, and it is hard for my parents to cover them because of a lack of resources. My dream when I am older is to become a doctor; I hope to achieve my goal someday. I would like to learn English; I think it is a very interesting language. Let me tell you that my favorite drink is coffee because it is delicious. Running is the sport I like the most. I love spending time with my family; at Christmas, we meet up with our close relatives and have a joyful time together. Because of limited resources, we do not celebrate our birthdays, but, if possible, my parents buy a cake. I am so grateful to Living Water for providing me with tasty meals, dental and medical care in the clinics; it is a big blessing for me and my family, especially my father who does not earn very much. Although the top priorities for us are groceries, we always trust in God's providence toward us. I send huge hugs and I hope to hear from you very soon. Every kind of blessing to you!

Bunch of hugs,

Ana Elizabeth Chiquito Sal
