My Story

Hello! How are you? My name is Maria Magdalena, and I am writing these lines to tell you a little about my life. I am 16 years old, and I no longer attend school. I now stay at home doing the household chores, and I also help to shepherd the sheep. I do not go out, so my siblings are my friends too. I identify a lot with my mom, and she have taught me many things. I tell you that one of my uncles got seriously sick 3 years ago, and it was a very difficult situation for my family and me. God healed him and helped him to go ahead from this time of sickness.

Thankfully, my family and I are fine and healthy. We are serving God in a church called House of Jehovah Prince of Peace, and we love it when thanksgiving services are celebrated for the first fruits. I have learned about Jesus, and I am sure to say that He is my Savior. LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue trusting in God, and we are grateful for their words. We are secure in our Salvation. My father is our main supporter, and he works as a farmer and day laborer. On the other hand, my mother does all the household chores, and she also embroiders napkins to help with the income. She helped me to write this letter, and I hope you find it interesting.

With much love

Maria Magdalena Ruiz Garcia
