Zacualpa
Guatemala
Child
It is my pleasure to greet you through this means. My name is Juan Jaime, and I am writing this letter to tell you about me. I tell you that I got sick from hepatitis when I was younger and it was a hard situation for me, but God was with me, and I am fine now. For me, Jesus is my Savior. I am in 4th grade this year, and I am 11 years old. I have a new friend, and his name is Cristian Felipe; we like playing soccer together. I identify a lot with my paternal grandmother because she is a loving woman.
I tell you that I live in a place called Limoncillo which is part of Zacualpa town. My house is near a soccer field and a gym. My parents are responsible people and do their best for us. My father works as a mason’s helper from Monday to Friday. My mother is a housewife, and she works as a maid once a week. We are members of a church, and I love it when our brethren have sales to fundraise. We trust in God and have him in our hearts. My mom helped me to write you this letter, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
Sincerely yours
Juan Jaime Jimon Simaj
