My Story

Hello! How are you? It is my pleasure to greet you through this letter. I hope you are fine wherever you are. I am in good health, and I am 6 years old now. I am doing fine, and this year, I am in kindergarten. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my toys. I love the cold weather because I like wearing sweaters. My family and I are members of a church called New Covenant Prince of Peace. I like my church because we are like a big family. We are sharing our house with my paternal grandparents, uncles and cousins, and we also share the home expenses with them.

I pray God blesses you wherever you are. Thankfully, my family is fine and healthy. My parents are working hard to cover our needs. My mother is in charge of doing all the housework and taking care of us. On the other hand, my father continues working in Guatemala City. He tends a grocery store, and he comes home every 3 or 4 months. He faithfully sends money for our needs, and he calls us by phone every 2 days. I tell you that he was part of the feeding program when he was younger and it was a beautiful experience for him; he remembers that the food was delicious. For all this, he felt free to send my siblings and me to the program. I have been part of it for about 2 years. Well, this is all for now.

With much love

Francisco Eliseo Luis Acabal
