My Story

I send you many greetings and blessings through this letter. I am Blanca Estela, and I am going to tell you a little about my life. I am fine and healthy, and I have the opportunity to attend LW clinic when I feel bad. I am 15 years old, and I am in 6^th grade this year. I study in the mornings, so I help with the household chores in the afternoons. I go to visit my grandparents on weekends; they live in another town. I am blessed with medicine and lunches through LW Ministries, and at the feeding program, my favorite dishes are Chow Mein and fried chicken. I receive a special present during the Christmas celebration at the program, and I really love it.

My family and I attend Prince of Peace Church, and we are assured of our Salvation. I would like to ask for your prayers for our health and protection. We grow some corn and raise a few hens for our consumption. My mother is a single parent and works hard to cover our needs. She goes to work as a maid in Guatemala City for several months, and then, she returns home to stay with us. While she is away, my siblings and I are under the care of my aunt Florinda and her husband; they cover our needs with the money that my mother sends. This time, my aunt helped me to make this letter. I say goodbye to you for now.

Cordially yours

Blanca Estela Chingo Luis
