My Story

This is Agustin, and I am delighted to share my last news with you. My family and I are members of a Christian Church called King of the Centuries. We usually attend our services every Monday. The Lord has never stopped blessing us, and as proof of that, many families like mine can receive material and spiritual support through LW. This is a meaningful project for us because one of my brothers could undergo surgery when he needed it the most, so we are grateful. The evangelism teacher of the feeding program encouraged us through my brother, Dany, to continue loving the Almighty while he collected this information for you. My mother, Maria Quino, is 38 years old. She works hard at home by doing the chores and looking after our domestic animals. We have hens and sheep. My father, Gregorio Idelfonso, is 39 years old. He makes a living as a farmer and grows corn and beans for our consumption. Besides that, he travels to the coast and works there for two months because of the coffee harvest time.

He does his best for our family, but he does not earn enough to cover all the bills. Therefore, it is difficult for him to support my school expenses and those of my young siblings. Our priorities are food supplies. Thankfully, my whole family and I are healthy. I am eight years old and my dream is to become a soldier. Therefore, I am working hard at school as a third grader. I receive face-to-face classes and I like it because I am learning the lessons better thanks to the exercises that I usually resolve at school. I already know a few Spanish words and expressions, but I would like to learn more about that language to speak it fluently. Christmas is the best time for me because I enjoy burning firecrackers and eating delicious tamales. I like drinking mosh, which is a hot beverage made of oatmeal and my favorite sport is soccer. My birthday was in June. What I enjoy the most is eating a delicious cake to celebrate my day. Thank you so much for reading my update! I say goodbye for now, but I send my best wishes through this letter.

With many blessings,

Agustin Ildefonso Quino
