Thank you for taking the time to read my news and I hope you are doing well. I want to tell you that I am not studying this year due to a lack of money. I only finished the 6th grade last year and now I stay at home and help my mother with housework. My life has been impacted since my father abandoned the family, I was so sad but I have learned that God is my father and I feel his presence in my heart. Jesus is my heavenly father, and my family and I are attending the same Christian church. We like to participate in vigil services for God. LW team shared the gospel with my mother and encouraged her to continue seeking God during the visit and she helped to collect this information.
My mother continues weaving typical items, and she raises hens to sell in order to sustain us financially because she is the only one that supports us. I identify with her because we spend a lot of time together doing the home duties. Her name is Francisca Garcia and she and my whole family are in good health. I am a thirteen year old teenager and my name is Jimena Ruiz Garcia. I send you all my best wishes in the name of Jesus. Thank you and many blessings to you!
Warm regards,
Jimena Ruiz Garcia
