Hello! It is a great blessing for me to be part of the feeding program from Living Water. My name is Marvin Estuardo Gomez Simaj and I am a 14-year-old boy. My loved ones and I attend Catholic Church. My mom trusts her salvation in Jesus. For me Jesus is God´s son and is in the Heaven. My dad left to the United States looking for a better job opportunity; he works in a mechanic workshop. He communicates with us by telephone and sends us monthly support. My mom does the chores at home, raises hens and pigs to sell to get extra money. I would like to you to pray for my dad who suffers from gastritis; he has already visited a doctor and takes medicines. Thankfully, the rest of my family and I are doing well. 

This year, I no longer attend school because my parents have to support my young siblings at school, and the expenses are too much. So, I am working as a day labor to help my family a little bit. Let me tell you, I felt so sad when my dad traveled to the USA; I knew that he had gone to work and would give us the best. However, I was so sad, but God helped me to understand and comforted my heart to support my mom here. I have a good relationship with my grandma, she is loving; she takes me out somewhere and we have a good time. My friend is Edwin; we like to play soccer when we get together and we have been friends for seven years. I would like you to know that my mom shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Thank you so much for reading my letter. Many and abundant blessings over you! 

Kind regards, 

Marvin Estuardo Gomez Simaj
