My Story

Hello! I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus and I hope you are doing fine with your loved ones. I want to share a little about my family and me in this opportunity. My mother`s name is Santos Portuguez Simaj. She is 40 years old. At the moment, she continues doing chores at home and she raises cows to sell and get some income.  My father´s name is Agustin Sut Ventura.  He is 50 years old. At the moment, he continues working as a farmer. Moreover, he goes to the Coast to pick coffee beans during harvest time. As a humble family, our current needs are corn and groceries. We grow corn for our family`s consumption but sometimes it is not enough for us. At the moment, we continue attending the Life Source Church every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. We are grateful to the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words to my mother during the visit. So, we are sure of our salvation in Jesus. Thank God, my family and I are in good health.

I am Genaro Sut Portuguez. I am 11 years old. This year, I am in 4^th grade at school. I receive face-to-face classes every day and I am learning a lot with this study method. Thank God, my father is making an effort to support my sister and me at school in spite of the school fees being so expensive and that he does not have a stable job. Sometimes, it is very difficult to cover every expense. In the future, I want to have a job and earn my own money. My favorite celebration of the year is “New Year” because our custom is to eat “tamales” (a typical dish). I like to drink “atol de masa” (a hot beverage made of corn flour). My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, so I would like to learn Spanish in order to have good communication with others. I do not celebrate my birthday because of a lack of economic resources. Among sports, I like to play soccer. My family is grateful to Living Water because I receive the meals, medical and dental attention, and spiritual support. I want to thank you for the Christmas gift that you sent to me at the end of the year through LW and for the special gifts that you have sent to me with much love.  May God bless you greatly!

Lots of love,

Genaro Sut Portuguez
