Good morning! I feel so blessed to be part of the feeding program from Living Water and receive a big support. My name is Yesica Roxana Garcia Riz. I have only my mother´s last name because my father left to go to the United States when I was born. I am 10 years old. My mom does the housework and washes clothes for other people. She also works as a farmer in our village and provides for our needs. My older brother, Cirilo, works looking after cows and helps my mom to supply our home needs. Unfortunately, my dad no longer communicates with us; it seems that he abandoned us; he is in USA. So please, pray for my family. I was so sad that my father no longer communicates with us, and I have prayed to God; he has given me the peace to face his abandonment. 

I am in fourth grade. My cousin, Juana is also my friend. We like to play football. We have been so close since childhood. My loved ones and I attend Catholic Church. We like to participate in the mass where the priest blesses the seeds that we will be planting and asks for good crops. My mom received encouraging words from a LW member; she is sure of her salvation but he encouraged her to continue seeking God. Thanks to the Lord, my mom, siblings and I are doing well. I would like you to know that my mom, Luciana, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter. I pray the Lord blesses you in everything you do! 

Warm hugs, 

Yesica Roxana Garcia Riz
