My Story

Hello! My name is Eliseo Alexander Gutierrez Luis, and I want to tell you about my life through this letter. First let’s talk about our spiritual life. We have accepted Jesus in our hearts, and we are still members of the Catholic Church; we attend the mass on Friday. My father’s name is Rodolfo, and he is 47 years old. He works as a day laborer and farmer to support the family. My mother’s name is Manuela, and she is 43 years old. She works hard at home and takes care of the family. They both are healthy. We raise pigs and hens, and we sometimes sell them to earn some extra money. We grow corn and black beans too, but it is not enough for the whole year so we have to buy the rest.

I am healthy, and I am 12 years old. I am in 5th grade, and I learn more now that I am attending school in person. There are times that my parents do not have the resources to buy my school supplies, and it is a difficult situation for them. I hope to continue with my studies in the future. I have to improve my Spanish since I speak Quiche dialect as my first language. Christmas celebration is my favorite time of the year because we share good moments together. I love drinking sodas and juices, and I enjoy playing soccer. There are times that my family celebrates my birthday with a special lunch. Living Water is very important for me because I am blessed with delicious food through the feeding program. I say goodbye to you for now hoping to have news from you soon.

With much love

Eliseo Alexander Gutierrez Luis
