My Story

Hello! God bless you in a big way and your family too. I send you many greetings and I hope you are doing very well. Thank God I am in good health and my family is too. My father´s name is Silverio, and he works as a farmer. He travels to the coast to pick coffee beans during the harvest season. My mother is a housewife, and she embroiders typical napkins and other items.  Also, she raises hens and turkeys to sell when they are grown. This year I am in fourth grade, and I like to go to school to learn and draw and paint. I like calligraphy. At the moment I do not know what I would like to be when I am older, but I want to study, and in the future, to graduate from a professional career.

I help my mother with the chores at home and also do my homework. For me, it is really important to share time with my family on my birthday.  We eat a special food and a delicious cake.  It is a cheerful time all together. I enjoy watching movies and listening to music. We attend Prince of Peace Church and I love to go and learn about God´s love. We thank our Lord for all blessings and the help that we receive from Him. Thank you very much for your support to me and I hope that our Lord grants you all the desires of your heart this year. I would like to meet you someday and thanks you in person for your support. I say good-bye to you for now. May God bless you!

With much love

Janeth Leticia Mendez Gutierrez
