My Story

Hello! My name is Yessenia Petronila Luis Benito, and I am writing this small letter to update information about my family and me. An Evangelism teacher collected this information for you, and he took advantage of the opportunity to encourage us to follow God’s Way. Currently, we are members of a Methodist Church, and we attend services on Monday. We have accepted Jesus in our hearts. My father’s name is Pedro. He is 30 years old, and he is in good health. He works as a farmer and day laborer in order to cover our needs. My mother’s name is Olivia. She is 25 years old, and she is in good health too. She is a housewife and raises domestic animals; she sometimes sells her hens to help with the home income. We are a needy family, and at the moment, we are in need of corn, black beans, sugar and rice. We grow some corn and black beans for the family consumption.

Now, I am going to tell you about myself. I am 5 years old, and I am in good health. I am not attending school yet due to my age. I want to become a nurse when I am older. My favorite season of the year is winter because I like being under the rain. I love drinking coffee, and I prefer baseball as a sport. I would like to learn to speak English. I enjoy my birthday because my family prepares a special lunch. I tell you that we do not have electricity services, so we use candles at nights. Living Water is very important in our family because many children are being blessed. This is all that I wanted to share with you this time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best

Yessenia Petronila Luis Benito
