This is Manuela, and I greet you with much love. I am writing this letter to update my information. I am 12 years old, and I am in 4th grade this year. Thankfully, I am in good health. I identify a lot with my mother, and we talk and cook together. One year ago, I met my friend Carla, and we like doing our homework together. A happy day for me is my birthday because my family spends time with me. I feel their love for me, and I can also feel God’s presence in my life. For me, Jesus is my Savior.  

I tell you that my homelife has changed a lot. My mother and stepfather separated last year, and now, my stepfather only has communication with his children (my younger siblings). He works as a driver of a construction truck, and through the court, he sends money to my mother. My biological father also sends her money through the court. My mom is working as a farmer in a coffee farm to improve the income. She helped me with this letter, and I hope you find it interesting. At the moment, we are not attending a church, and the LW Evangelism team has invited us to their Liberty Church; we are grateful for their invitation and encouraging words. I pray God pours out many blessings upon you.  

Yours truly  

Manuela Fernanda Gutierrez Ojer
