My Story

It is a joy for me to say hello to you through this. I am Walmer Brayan Morente Martin, and I am seven years old. This year I am in Kindergarten II. Currently, I am receiving face-to-face classes the whole week from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. Thank God, I have been learning well so far. In the afternoons, I play toy cars. I missed not being able to attend the feeding program during the time it was closed due to the pandemic. I am happy because it is open again, so we get there in half an hour from home by walking. My father works as a mason, but sometimes, he does not support my family economically because he has problems with alcohol. My mom stays home raising domestic animals for selling. In the afternoons, we take the time to talk and have a good time together as a family. We do not usually celebrate Christmas due to the lack of economic resources. At the moment, we are attending Prince of Peace Church at Zacualpa, located half an hour from home by walking. Thank God, the church is working normally.

We own a house with two rooms and a separate kitchen. The kitchen we have is not a formal or stable one, so we pray to God to have one in better condition. The house is made of cement block and tin sheets, the roof of tin sheets and the floor of cement and dirt. It has electricity and we get water from a well because we do not have running water. The pandemic has affected us due to the high prices of the basic products. I thank the feeding program for the grocery bags we received. It was all a great help and blessing for my family and me because food supplies such as corn and beans are a great need at home, and so are soap and clothing. We received it when we needed it most. Thank you very much for blessing us in this way. For now, my family and I are all doing well, thank God. Finally, I want you to know that mom gave this information to an Evangelism team member to share with you my last news. Thank you very much for your support, love and generosity towards us. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Lots of hugs,

Walmer Brayan Morente Martin
