My Story

Hi! It is a pleasure to greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus and wish you a brilliant day alongside your lovely family. First of all, my family and I are grateful to Living Water because I receive medical and dental attention in the LW´s clinics. In addition, I have a meal and spiritual support at the Feeding Program. I want to let you know that we are attending the Adventist Church every Wednesday and Saturday. Thank you to the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words to my aunt during the visit. So, as a family, we have Jesus in our hearts. My mother´s name is Roselia Riz Benito. She is 29 years old. Unfortunately, my mother left for the United States 4 months ago. Currently, she lives and works there in a tortillas business. Thankfully, we have communication with her and she sends us a monthly to support home expenses. We are under the care of my aunt. Her name is Tomasa Elizabeth Riz Benito. She is 19 years old.  She does chores at home. My father`s name is Arnoldo Morente Larios.  He is 32 years old. As you know, he has been living and working in the United States for 5 years. He earns a living by working in a car wash. He supports us financially and we have good communication with him. Thank God, my family and I are in good health.

My name is Mailyn Roxana Morente Riz and I am 13 years old. This year I am in 6th grade at school. I receive face-to-face classes every day and I am learning a lot with this study method. At the moment, my parents are trying to support my sisters and me at school despite the school fees being so expensive. Sometimes, it is very difficult to cover every expense. My dream is to become a firewoman. My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, so I would like to learn English; I think this is a very interesting language. Orange juice is my favorite beverage. Christmas is my favorite season of the year because I like to celebrate that date. What I like to do for my birthday is to eat delicious food for lunch and a cake. Among sports, I prefer soccer. Thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive through Living Water Adopt-A-Child every December. I hope you like to read my letter. May God bless you greatly!

Lots of love,

Mailyn Roxana Morente Riz
