My Story

Hello! I feel so blessed and I hope you are doing fine and in good health when my letter reaches you. My name is Maria Cristina Gonzalez Pichiya and my parents and whole family are doing fine and in good health. My father`s name is Sebastian and my mother`s name is Maria. Nowadays, my father is working as a day laborer and as a mason`s helper in order to provide for our family expenses. My mother continues raising and selling her hens. She also does the housework. In addition, she weaves typical clothing to sell and get some income. My mother is assured of her salvation in Jesus and she was encouraged by LW team to continue trusting in God. She helped to collect this information for you. As you know, we are members of Liberty Church from LW in our village and we like to attend every activity. Also, I am sure that Jesus is my savior.

I am a fourteen-year-old girl and I want you to know that I am not studying this year due to a lack of money. I only finished primary school the last year and now I am helping my mother with household chores. I was sick from an intestinal infection last year and I prayed to God and he healed me. I felt his presence in my heart. Now, I enjoy good health and it is a good experience for me. My best friend`s name is Melany and we have been friends for three years. We like to talk a lot and we also go out for a walk when we have the opportunity. I hope you like to read my news. Have a good and blessed day!

Sincerely yours,

Maria Cristina Gonzalez Pichiya
