My Story

Hello! I am Yadira Eliana, and I am writing this letter to tell you a little about my history. I live with my grandmother, Manuela Garcia de Leon, because my father passed away and my mother abandoned me and established a new family with another partner. My grandma is 60 years old, and she continues working hard in order to cover our needs. She has a small grocery store and also sells peanuts; thankfully, she is in good health. Sadly, my grandfather passed away many years ago. My grandma and I attend the Catholic Church, and our favorite activity is the Holy Hour. We have accepted Jesus in our hearts so we are secure in our salvation.

Now let me tell you about me. I am in good health, and I am 19 years old. I no longer attend school, so I stay at home and help with the cleaning. I have a good relationship with my grandma, and she is the member of my family with whom I identify most. I have two friends, and their names are Angela and Miriam. We have known each other since we were little children, and we like talking about our personal things. One of my hardest experiences has been to find out that my father passed away. I was very sad, and only God helped me to take away all of the sadness that I had in my heart. I love Jesus, and I recognize Him as my personal Savior. One of my aunts, Miriam, helped me to give my information to LW Evangelism team, and they have encouraged us to always trust in God.

Sincerely yours

Yadira Eliana Toj Mucia
