Hello! My full name is Katerin Dayana Gutierrez Hernandez, and I am glad to share a little about my life with you. I am 16 years old and attend the tenth grade at school. This is my first year in a professional career to become a bilingual secretary. I also work in a place where people rent chairs and tables for parties. My work schedule starts early in the morning and ends at noon. I want to open my heart and tell you that I had to think so much about studying this year because of the hard economic situation of my family. This was a challenging and crucial moment in my life, but God has always been with me. I know He will provide me with everything that I need to move forward. If you ask me who Jesus is to me, I will say He is my friend.  

Thankfully, my whole family and I are healthy. I identify with my mom because she is always striving for our family. She still works in the plant nursery.  Now, let me tell you a little bit about my best friend, Esther. I met her about two years ago. We like going for walks and conversing when we are together. To end this letter, let me tell you that a member of the LW staff shared the gospel and encouraged my mom and me to seek God since we do not attend a church. He also invited us to attend Liberty Church. We have passed through complicated situations, but we know God is helping us. We shared this information with LW and asked for prayer. See you later! 

Special regards,  

Katerin Dayana Gutierrez Hernandez
