My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you through this and I trust in God you are fine! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Catholic Church; we go on Sundays. We appreciate so much the encouraging words that LW staff gave us this time. Thank God, we all are quite well. My mother is Miriam Consuelo Valdez de Aguilar, and she is 55 years old. She is a housewife, and she also tends the store that we have at home. My father is Luis Alfredo Aguilar Marroquin, and he is 58 years old. He continues working as a security guard to supply our family’s needs. My parents support each other to cover all our expenses. Our pets are a dog and a cat.

This is Yesamira Dulce Sirai Aguilar Valdez, and I am 12 years old. I attend 5^th grade; I like to receive classes at school because I comprehend better when my teacher explains the lessons. I am fortunate that my parents support me at school and buy what I need for school. I would like to study to become a policewoman because it is an interesting profession. The English language catches my attention, and I would like to learn how to speak it. The sport I like the most is football. I like sodas, especially Coca-Cola which is my favorite one. Christmas is one of my favorite seasons of the year; my family and I have a joyful time on those days. I get so happy when my birthday comes because I receive some gift and my family buys a cake for me. I am grateful to Living Water for providing delicious meals and spiritual support through Bible teaching. I am sending much love to you, and I hope to receive news from you very soon. Many and abundant blessing to you!

Lots of love,

Yesamira Dulce Sirai Aguilar Valdez
