My Story

Hello! It is a big pleasure to share a little about my life with special and kind people like you. My name is Leydi Melisa Garcia Chingo, and I am 12 years old. I am grateful to the Lord because I am in sixth grade. I do my best at school every year. I am sure the Almighty has given me wisdom to study and learn everything that I need. When someone asks me who Jesus is to me, I firmly say He is God’s son, the Lord. I like learning about him at my church, Betel. That is located in Zacualpa village. The First Fruit presentation is a very engaging activity, so that is our favorite.

I love spending time with my mother while we do the household chores. She is a great woman, who weaves typical clothes and sells chickens to contribute to the expenses. My father works hard as a day laborer in our village to cover all the essentials. Fortunately, my whole family and I are healthy. Now, let me tell you about my best friend, Lesbia. We have been friends for many years. We enjoy playing soccer with other girls in our village. I will leave you now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my information. May God bless you!

Sincerely yours,

Leydi Melisa Garcia Chingo
