My Story

Hello! It is such a great blessing to write this letter and share a little about my life with you. My name is Jessica Veronica Garcia Garcia, and I hope you find this engaging. I am 14 years old, and I dedicate myself to shepherding sheep to help my mother with the chores. I long to get a job that allows me to help my family economically. I devotedly pray so that the Lord helps me. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I kindly ask you to join my prayer. Jesus is my friend, and I am grateful to Him for keeping my family and me healthy. I attend the Catholic Church. I made a good friend there about five years ago. Her name is Maritza Mucia.

There are many activities at church that I enjoy taking part in because they help me to be close to the Lord. Learning about how the Virgin Mary accepted serving God in his plan of salvation is engaging. Now, let me tell you about my family. My father is still in the United States. He is always in touch with us and supports our family. He makes a living by working on a cattle farm. I want you to know that my mother is the best mother ever! She is always taking care of our family and sells domestic animals to contribute to the household expenses. She raises and sells chickens and sheep. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my information!

With love and gratitude,

Jessica Veronica Garcia Garcia
