My Story

My name is Jose Manuel Cux Mejia, and I am glad to write this letter to you. Fortunately, I am in good health. I am 10 years old and nowadays, I help my father at work. He makes a living 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, everybody 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 thank you so much for reading my information. Have a good day!

Special regards,

Jose Manuel Cux Mejia
