My Story

Hello, my name is Manuel Morente Toj. It is a pleasure to greet you and your loved ones. I am 16 years old, and I am not currently in school. During the week, I work as a day laborer in my community to help support my family economically. Thank God, I am in good health. My mother’s name is Maria Toj Cux. She takes care of our home and raises chickens. I enjoy going to the feeding program every week and eating a delicious meal. I do not have a favorite food that they serve, because I like it all. I also enjoy the songs we sing and games that we play at the end of year Christmas celebration at the feeding program. I tell you that Living Water has greatly blessed my family by the food they serve every week.

At home, my family raises chickens to sometimes sell to help support our family. While we do have land, it is not fertile, so we must buy our corn. As a family, we attend the Spanish American Church of God. I am thankful that the Living Water evangelism team encourages me to continue seeking God. I pray that you are doing well, and I hope that you will be praying for my family, and that we will always have good health. Thank you for taking the time to read about me today. I send you many hugs and blessings.

With much love,

Manuel Morente Toj
