My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you are fine! At the moment, we are not attending church. This time LW staff shared the gospel with us and encouraged us to look for a church and seek God. We appreciate it so much that they are worried about our spiritual life. My father is Juventino Alvarado, but he abandoned us several years ago and we do not know anything about him. My mother is Ligia Fabiola Tiul Pagan, and she is 31 years old. She makes a living by cleaning houses to get income and supply our needs. We have a dog as a pet. I want to ask for your prayers for my mother because she felt bad and went to the doctor, and she was diagnosed with tachycardia. She is not taking medicines because of a lack of resources. So, I would like you to pray for her. As for me, let me tell you that I suffer from asthma. For now, I am feeling well and I just take medicines if I need them.

I am Pedro Manuel Alvarado Tiul, and I am 17 years old. This year, I started 8^th grade on weekends, but unfortunately, my mother could not support me because of a lack of resources. So, I dropped out of the school again. When I grow up, I would like to study to become a mechanic and get a good job. The language I would like to learn is Korean; it is so interesting. About drinks, my favorite is hibiscus juice. The sport I like the most is basketball. Let me tell you that I love Christmas and summer because the climate of those seasons is very nice for me. To celebrate my birthday, my mother invites me to go out for a walk to someplace; I like it. Being part of Living Water is a big blessing for me because I receive food, and medical care in the clinics which is a big help for me and my family. We pray God blesses greatly each one who contributes so my family can receive this support. We are in need of shoes, a wardrobe, and clothes. This is all for now. Take care. Every kind of blessing for you!

Warm greetings,

Pedro Manuel Alvarado Tiul
