My Story

I greet you in the name of Jesus and I hope you have a brilliant and blessed day. I want to share some news with you about my family and me. I am Amilcar Adrian Simaj Jimon and I am 9 years old. I want to let you know that at the moment, we are not attending any church. We are grateful to the LW evangelism team who shared the gospel with us during the visit and for their encouraging words. This year, I am in 2nd grade at school and I am receiving face-to-face classes every day. I prefer this study method because I enjoy spending time with my classmates. At the moment, my father is making an effort to support my brothers and me at school in spite of the school fees being so expensive and that he does not have a stable job.   My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, so I would like to learn Spanish and improve my communication with others. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because our custom is to eat “tamales” (a typical dish). “Mosh” (a hot drink made of oatmeal) is my favorite beverage. Among sports, I prefer soccer. What I like to do for my birthday is to eat a delicious cake. By the grace of God, my family and I are in good health.

My mother`s name is Maria Jimon Morente. She is 40 years old. Nowadays, she continues doing chores at home. Moreover, she raises hens and pigs at home. My father`s name is Carmen Simaj Morente. He is 40 years old. Currently, he continues living and working in the United States. Thank God currently, he is earning a living by working as a gardener. He sends some money to contribute to our expenses and we have good communication with him. We grow corn and black beans for the family´s consumption. We are a humble family and our current needs are groceries and firewood. We are grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive through LW Adopt-A-Child in December. I hope you like to read my letter.  May God bless you and take care of you!

Kisses and hugs,

Amilcar Adrian Simaj Jimon
