My Story

Hello! It is a pleasure to greet you cordially and hoping you are doing fine alongside your loved ones. I want to tell you a little about my family and me through this letter. I am Jaime Eduardo Morente Jimon and I am 7 years old.  Currently, as a family, we are attending the Catholic Church every Monday. We are grateful to the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words to my cousin during the visit.  This year, I studied the 1^st grade at school; I received face-to-face classes every day and learned a lot with this study method. Nowadays, school fees are expensive, but my father did his best to support me with school expenses. Sometimes, it was very difficult to cover every expense since he did not have a stable job. My dream is to become a farmer. My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, but I would like to learn Spanish in order to have good communication with others. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because our custom is to light fireworks and spend that day with the family. I like to drink iced beverages. I do not celebrate my birthday due to a lack of financial resources. Among sports, I prefer soccer. Thank God, my family and I are in good health.

My mother`s name is Julia Jimon Alvarado. She is 22 years old. At the moment, she continues doing chores at home and she raises hens to sell and gets some income. My father`s name is Hector Morente Toj. He is 25 years old. Currently, he continues earning a living by working as a day laborer and traveling to the coast from November to December in order to support us financially. In addition, he grows corn for our family’s consumption. As a needy and humble family, our current needs are groceries.  We are very grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive every December through LW. I hope you enjoy reading my letter. May God bless you greatly!

Huge hugs,

Jaime Eduardo Morente Jimon
