My Story

This is Wilson Enrique Morente Calachij, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are still members of Assembly of God Church, and we attend the services twice a week. We have hens and pigs at home, and we sell them when they grow up. We do not have crops since we do not own a piece of land to do it. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries and corn. My mother’s name is Rufina. She is 25 years old, and she is in good health. She works as a weaver and raises domestic animals. My grandpa, Jose, is in the United States, and he sends us money to help with our expenses. My grandma, Maria, lives with us, and she raises animals too.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 9 years old, and I am healthy. I am in second grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because I learn more at school. It has been difficult for my mother to support me with my studies since she is a single parent and has many expenses. I want to become a mason when I am older. My favorite celebration is my town’s fair because I can play in the football games. I enjoy singing and playing with my cousins for my birthday; I spend a good day. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking lemonade. I want to improve my Spanish since I speak Quiche dialect as my first language. Living Water is very important for me, and it is a great blessing to be part of it. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
