My Story

Hello! My name is Francisco Eduardo Gutierrez Garcia, and I am pleased to greet you today. Thank God my family and I are all in good health. My father’s name is Encarnacion Gutierrez Garcia. He works for the municipal garbage collection. However, he abandoned our family a few years ago. My mother’s name is Juliana Garcia Ajqui. She is a housewife, and she works hard taking care of the household chores. She also raises chickens and grow radishes to sell in the market so she can make some extra money. For the past 5 months, we have attended the Pentecostal Prince of Peace Church. It has been a blessing for my family. Now, I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am 22 years old, and I work as a farmer and day laborer to help support my family. On Thursdays and Sundays, I work in the market helping people carry their items.

On the weekends, I like to rest. I enjoy attending the feeding program each week and I am grateful for Living Water because they have blessed us in many ways. My favorite food from the program is the fried chicken. I also love when we receive a beautiful Christmas gift at the Christmas celebration. I want to let you know that my mother shared this information with a LW teacher who visited us, and she also received a gospel message, which encouraged her and gave her assurance in her faith. Thank you for taking the time to read about me today. I wish you many blessings and much joy!

Kisses and hugs,

Francisco Eduardo Gutierrez Garcia
