My Story

First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my update. My name is Claudia and it is a blessing to share a little about my life with you. My family and I attend the Catholic Church on Mondays. We are grateful to LW because a teacher of the evangelism team shared the gospel with us. It helped us to be sure about our salvation. The teacher also took advantage of collecting this information for you. My father, Angel Ajqui, is 31 years old. He traveled to the United States about six years ago. He speaks with us by phone every fifteen days or monthly. We do not know what he does to make a living, but he faithfully has sent money to support our family economically. So far, he has not gotten sick, thanks God. My mother, Santana Ramirez, is 30 years old. She is a housewife and raises hens to sell. Her health is in good condition too.

I turned thirteen years old in July. What I enjoy the most is eating a tasty cake to celebrate my birthday. We are a very poor family and need clothes and groceries at home, especially corn. I no longer attend school because of a lack of money. I was in sixth grade last year. Nowadays, I use my free time to help my mother with the chores. I also look after our hens. I would love to become a merchant when I am older. I also would like to learn how to speak Spanish since my native language is the Quiche dialect. My favorite holiday is Christmas because I have fun burning firecrackers. I like drinking different kinds of juices. There are many sports, but my favorite is the marathon. To end this letter, I want you to know that LW is a meaningful project for me. The staff has always served with kindness. This is all for now, but I wish the best for your loved ones and you.

Sincerely yours,

Claudia Esperanza Ajqui Ramirez
