Asking for help with correction of very important passage
Dear friends. My name is Vadim Eelen and on October 3rd I am traveling to Peru to meet with group of healers who I hope can help me with my grief. I do not speak Spanish but I must to say the text below to the healer in Spanish myself. I translated this text form English to Spanish using Google translate but I know it is not perfect Spanish. Will some one please can help to correct the grammar I would be greatly appreciate your help. So here it is: Estimado señor. No hablo español pero aprendí estas palabras porque lo que voy a decirte debo decirte yo mismo. Hace once meses morí en el mundo que viví antes y no nací aún en el nuevo. Un gran agujero creció en mi alma y en mi corazón y estoy sufriendo tremendamente. Hace cuatro meses vino el espíritu a mí y dijo: encuentra al sanador que te dará el nuevo nacimiento. Le pregunté al Espíritu, ¿cómo encuentro al sanador que me pueda ayudar? Dijo que le mostrara la foto y si sabrá lo que eso significa que es el sanador que le ayudará. Durante los últimos cinco meses, he estado buscando al sanador en las tribus nativas de los Estados Unidos y no puedo encontrar al sanador, entonces estaba buscando al sanador en la tribu Maya en México y no puedo encontrar al sanador. Ahora el destino me trajo aquí. Por favor, eche un vistazo a la foto y dígame si siente lo que significa y si lo hace, le ruego que me ayude.
Again thank you so much for your help. And here is the english version of what I would need to say: Dear sir. I do not speak Spanish but I learned these words because what I am about to tell you I must tell you myself. Eleven months ago I died in the world that I lived in before and I am not born yet in the new one. A great hole grew in my soul and in my heart and I am suffering tremendously. Four months ago spirit came to me and said: find the healer who will give you the new birth. I asked the Spirit, how do I find the healer who can help me. He said show him the picture and if he will know what that means that is the healer who will help you. For the last five months, I have been searching for the healer in the native tribes in the United States and can't find the healer, then I was looking for the healer in Mayan tribe in Mexico and can't find the healer. Now fate brought me here. WIll you please take a look at the picture and tell me if you feel what does it mean and if you do may I beg you to help me. Kind regards,?Vadim

Your Spanish is quite understandable, the most significant error I noticed was that you use the familiar form vis. "decirte in the first few sentences. To show respect we use the formal form "usted" and the indirect object pronoun "le" "decirle" would show the proper respect. You in other places did use the correct form.
One other thing I noticed was "morí en el mundo que viví antes" which I would change to: "Morí en el mundo en que vivía antes." "viví" is not incorrect, but I believe that "vivía" is closer to what the English is saying.
When you say "el espíritu" are you talking about a particular spirit? if not "un" espíritu would be better.
Some of what you say is close to Christian teaching. I know a Salvador/Sanador who can give you the "new birth" but this forum is not the place to be talking about it. If you are interested in learning about Jesus Christ, I can give you good information in a private message.
If you wish help from a Buddhist perspective our Moderator Ray76 is a teacher in that field.
May the Creator bless you and guide you in finding your Sanador.

Thank you kindly for your help! On the top of my struggle with Spanish, my English definitely could be better. I grew up in Uzbekistan and my native language is Russian. That being said you are absolutely right reborn would be more accurate. - Vadim5122
HI vadim, I believe your English is excellent ![]()
And so is your Spanish, I always have the highest respect for people who can read and write in several languages that are not their native one.
I am happy to have been of help, even though it was just a small issue.

Eleven months ago I died in the world that I lived in before and I am not born - Vadim5122
You are dead...and not born...that sounds definitely odd. Or did you mean "now"? I guess that would be reborn?
