My Story

Hello! My name is Monica Lucero Natalia, and this is my update information. I am happy because my father returned from the United States months ago, and he is now living with us. Thankfully, he is in good health, and he is now working as a day laborer and farmer to cover our needs. On the other hand, my mother is fine and is embroidering blouses to help with the income; she is also in charge of doing the housework. My mother helped me with this letter for you, and she is grateful to LW Ministry for supporting me with food and medicine through the feeding program; all these benefits motivated her to register me in it. I tell you that she attended the program when she was a little child. We share our house with my maternal grandparents.

I am fine, and I continue studying. I am repeating 1^st grade, and after classes, I do my homework. I love the cold weather because I can put on warm clothes. I have been attending the feeding program for about 2 years, and I like the Bible classes because of the prayer time. I would like to learn to sing and serve God in that area. My family and I attend the Catholic Church, and I enjoy hearing the sermon. I enjoy a happy time at church because we sing, pray and do different activities. I think I can enter God’s kingdom because I am a good person, help elderly people and accepted Jesus in my heart. I would like to end my letter asking for your prayers for my family and our health. I say goodbye to you for now.

With much love

Monica Lucero Natalia Simaj Hernandez
