My Story

Good morning this is Wilson Enrique Morente Calachij and I want you to know that my maternal aunt Gregoria also belonged to this Project when she was a child. She has good memories about the nice plate of food she received in the Feeding Center, and she enrolled me five years ago due to the meals and medicines for free. I want to tell you that I like to pray and listen to the word of God in the Bible classes.

I am eleven years old and I am in 5^th grade. I love cold weather and I help my mother with household chores. I help to clean the house. Along with my family, we attend the Assembly of God and we like to listen to the sermons. We are assured of our salvation in Jesus and the LW teacher encouraged my aunt to continue seeking him and prayed for our health and life. My maternal aunt Gregoria helped to collect all this information. 

I continue living under my grandmother`s care because my mother lives and works in Guatemala City in the tortillas business. She covers my financial needs, but my grandparents also contribute to my expenses when the money is not enough. My mother visits me every two or three months and then she returns to the city. As you know, my grandfather lives and works in the United States. He looks after the cattle, and my grandmother dedicates her time to the family and household duties. My maternal cousins and aunts live in the house. Thankfully, my whole family and I are in good health. Well, thank you for letting me tell you all about my family and myself. I love you so much!

Sincerely yours,

Wilson Enrique Morente Calachij
