My Story

This is Edvin Daniel Coj Gomez, and I am updating you about my family and me. First, I will tell you about my family. Currently, we are members of a Pentecostal Church called Prince of Peace, and we attend services on Wednesday. We are assured of our salvation. We have hens, cows, pigs and sheep at home, and we sell them. We grow onions and herbs for selling, and we grow corn and black beans for our consumption. We are a humble family, and our greatest need is groceries. My father’s name is Fabian. He is 50 years old, and he is in good health. He works as a farmer and day laborer, and he goes to cut sugar cane at the coast from November to May. My mother’s name is Sebastiana. She is 47 years old, and she is in good health too. She is a housewife, and she has a small grocery store.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 5th grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because I learn more. I am the only child in the family who is attending school. I want to become a welder when I am older. My favorite celebration is Christmas because we eat “tamales and ponche”. I really like to open a gift when it is my birthday. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking sodas like Coca-Cola. I would like to learn English language. Living Water is very important for me, and I have received support when I have needed it. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
