My Story

It is a pleasure to greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus and I wish you a brilliant and blessed day. In this opportunity, I want to share some news about my family and me through this letter. First of all, my family and I are grateful to Living Water because I receive medical and dental attention in the clinics. In addition, I have a meal and spiritual support at the Feeding Program. Unfortunately, I am not attending the Church. As a family, we are grateful to the LW evangelism team who shared the gospel with my mother and for their encouraging words during the visit. We have not taken the decision to attend. My mother`s name is Fermina Chic Riz. She is 46 years old. Nowadays, she continues doing chores at home. Moreover, she raises hens to sell and get some income. My father´s name is Daniel Pastor Mucia. He is 45 years old. Currently, he continues working in a tiles factory located in Zacualpa village every day. In addition, he grows corn and black beans for our family`s consumption. As a big and humble family, our current needs are groceries, corn, and clothes. By the grace of God, my family and I are in good health.

My name is Adolfo Jeovany Pastor Chic and I am 12 years old. This year, I am in 4th grade at school. I receive face-to-face classes every day and I am learning a lot with this study method. I spend more time with my classmates. At the moment, my father is making an effort to support me at school in spite of the school fees being so expensive and that he does not have a stable job. In the future, I want to become a soldier. Christmas is my favorite celebration of the year because I like to light fireworks with my brother. My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, so I would like to learn Spanish and improve my communication with others. I like to drink “mosh” (a hot beverage made of oatmeal). I do not celebrate my birthday due to a lack of money, but I would like to celebrate with my family. Among sports, soccer is my favorite. Thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive through LW Adopt-A-Child in December. May God bless you and take care of you!

Huge hugs,

Adolfo Jeovany Pastor Chic
