My Story

Hello! I am so excited to tell you my last news through this letter. I am Eduardo Sinibaldi, and I hope you are enjoying the blessings of our Lord. Let me tell you that I still attend a Methodist Church called Light and Life. My family and I attend our services on Tuesdays. I am grateful because a teacher of LW encouraged me to continue loving God. She also took advantage of collecting this information for you. The feeding program is a great blessing in my community because the staff serves many people in need. My father is Raul Zacarias, and he is 53 years old. He makes a living by digging river sand to support our family. Besides that, he grows potatoes to sell and get extra income. My mother is Encarnacion Pastor, and she is 56 years old. She is a very busy housewife. She also raises hens and sheep to sell when they are older. Our priorities are food supplies and clothes. Fortunately, we are in good health.

Happily, I want you to know that this is my first year of school. As a first grader, I like receiving face-to-face classes to learn my lessons. The economy of my family is not as good as I would like. Money is not enough at home, so I sometimes cannot buy a snack during recess. Therefore, one of my biggest dreams is to work in a grocery store. The rainy season is the best because I love getting wet under the rain. I love drinking water because it is great when the weather is hot. The Quiche dialect is my native language. I know some Spanish words, although I would like to speak English someday. I am eleven years old, and my next birthday will be in December. What I enjoy to celebrate it is to sing the happy birthday song. Soccer is the best sport ever, and I love it as much as my older brother Alberto. This is all for now, but if you want to hear something else about my life, feel free to ask me.

Sincerely yours,

Eduardo Sinibaldi Zacarias Pastor
