My Story

Chixocol, where your child lives, is a very small village nestled in a mountain valley in the state of Quiché, Guatemala. Life in this state is very difficult. Most families live in one-room adobe houses with dirt floors and a small, attached kitchen. The extremely poor live in houses made of corn stalks. In the past few years electricity and water have become available to most people in the area - however, indoor plumbing is very rare. Most of the families are farmers or shepherds and live off the fruits of their labors. Public education is available for those who can afford it and consider it of value.  Life in Quiché is always a challenge.

Hello! My name is Brayan Adael Morente Ixporpuac, and I am writing this small letter to tell you about me. I was born on November 21, 2017, so I am 6 years old. I am in good health, and I am attending pre-kinder this year. I enjoy playing soccer in my free time. I like the color green, and my favorite animal is the cat. I love eating sausage. I have two brothers and two sisters; three of them are part of the feeding program too. My father, Camilo Morente Us, works in a hardware store to support us. My mother, Maria Ixporpuac Gonzales, works hard at home and takes care of us. My family and I are attending Source of Life Methodist Church.

We live in our own house, and it has three rooms and a separate kitchen. The house is made of adobe with a tin sheet roof and dirt floor. We have running water service but no electricity; my aunt provides us with the electricity service and we pay her for it. We are praying God so that He provides us the resources to fix our roof and floor. I walk for one hour to arrive at the feeding program and enjoy a delicious lunch. I tell you that my mom helped me to give this information to LW Evangelism team, and I am happy to be part of this Ministry. I hope you find my information interesting.

Kisses and hugs

Brayan Adael Morente Ixporpuac
