My Story

Hello! I am so excited to share my news with you. Before starting, I thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. This is Juan Francisco Cux Mejia, and I am 12 years old. I dropped out of school a couple of years ago. Nowadays, I work with my father by digging river sand. My biological mother died about five years ago. Nowadays, my father has another partner. She takes care of my siblings and me. She also keeps busy doing the housework. Fortunately, my whole family is in good health. My youngest brother is a deaf-and-mute boy, but he is doing well.

My family and I praise the Lord for all the benefits we can receive at the feeding program, such as food and medicine. My favorite food at the feeding program is fried chicken. I like celebrating Christmas there because I receive a lovely gift. We do not attend any church, but I hope we can do it soon. A teacher of the LW evangelism team shared the gospel and encouraged my father to seek Jesus. We are a humble family, so it is difficult to survive. Therefore, I ask you to pray for us. I say goodbye to you now, but I want you to know it was a pleasure to open my heart with you. See you later!

Cordiality yours,

Juan Francisco Cux Mejia
