My Story

I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you and yours are doing great! This is Kristel Milagros Betzaida Arias Gonzalez. I am a 14-year-old girl. I am a seventh-grade student and I receive my classes on the morning shift. I usually help my mother with some chores and then, I like to play football. I love to eat black beans and noodles. My mother makes a living by selling homemade snacks and lunches, and in this way, she can take us ahead day by day. She does her best since she is a single parent. My father passed away some years ago.  I would like you to keep my family in your prayers and that we never lack supplies at home.

For now, we are not attending church, but my mother and I have welcomed Jesus into our hearts. We appreciate that an evangelism teacher shared the gospel and encouraged us to seek God and look for a church. Even though we have gone through hard times, we continue trusting in God who is giving us our daily provision. We are also grateful to Living Water for all the support I receive in the dental and medical clinics besides the food. Let me tell you that I receive a Christmas gift in the feeding program every year and it makes me so happy. Also there is a special meal. I like the LW team's job; someday, I would like to join them to serve. To end my letter, let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. Hoping to receive news from you very soon. I pray to God for you!

Kind regards,

Kristel Milagros Betzaida Arias Gonzalez
