My Story

Hello, my name is Ignacia Cristina Tzoy Morente. I am 14 years old, and I am no longer attending school. I stay home now and help my mother with the household chores. Her name is Tomasa Morente Ajqui. She is a stay-at-home mom. She also has a small convenience store that she tends to. My father’s name is Camilo Tzoy Portuguez. He has been in the USA for about 10 years now to work and live. He sends money for us to support our family. At home we grow corn and beans for our family, and we raise chickens. I love the Christmas celebration at the end of the year because we receive a wonderful gift. I also love the food at the feeding program each week. My favorite meal from the program is the steak hilachas. Living Water has been a huge blessing to me and my family with everything they offer us.

 I want to let you know that my mother shared this information with the Living Water evangelism teacher who visited us. She received a message of the gospel as well and she was very grateful because this reassured her in her faith. As a family we go to a catholic church regularly. I thank you for taking the time to read my information. I wish you many blessings from God today and always.

With much love,

Ignacia Cristina Tzoy Morente
