Receive a warm and affectionate greeting, and I hope you are keeping well. My name is Jose Armando Hernandez Ruiz, and it is a pleasure for me to share with you how everything is going with my family and me. Thankfully, we are in good health condition; I am 9 years old. I am a 3rd grader, and I attend school in the morning. On weekends, I help my father to do the household chores. I love being part of Living Water Ministry because they bless me in different ways; the food I receive every week is a huge help for us, and my favorite meal is friend chicken. Furthermore, what I like most of the Christmas Celebration at the feeding program are the games we have during this activity and receiving my gift because this is another way in which they bless me.
I love my parents because they are hardworking people, and they do their best to supply our needs. My father works both as a farmer and as a day laborer; he also has his own plants, and all his harvests are for selling at the market. My mother sells the herbs and vegetables that my father cultivates every Saturday and Sunday because these are market days. Moreover, we raise hens for selling to improve our incomes, and we also cultivate corn for our consumption. As a family, we continue attending the Catholic Church; we need you to pray for us so God continues blessing our lives and the studies of my siblings and me. I want you to know that my mother gave this information to the Evangelism team, and they also shared the Gospel with her and encouraged her to continue seeking God. I love you, and I wish you many blessings in everything you do.
Kisses and Hugs,
Jose Armando Hernandez Ruiz
