My Story

It is a great pleasure for me to write you this letter to tell you more about my family and me. My name is Marta. I am in good health, I am 17 years old, and my birthday is on June 19^th. I want to open my heart to you and tell you what has impacted my life most was when my mother passed away about three years ago; thankfully, I could feel God’s presence in my life when I was going through this time of grief because God comforted me. I love Jesus because I know He is the one that gave His life for my sins. At home, I am the one that takes care of my siblings and does the household chores. I identify more with my father because we look alike physically and have the same character. I feel blessed to have two good friends, and their names are Carolina and Angelina; we have been friends for about 10 years, and we still have communication every night through a phone call.

 My father works so hard to cover our needs; he earns a living by working both as a farmer and as a day laborer. Thankfully, we are members of Prince of Peace Church, and we like to participate in all the activities we have here because these are for God. It was so nice to share this information with you, and I want you to know that my father provided this information to the Evangelism team. I hope you like my letter, and I say goodbye to you for now with much love.  

In Jesus Name,

Marta Angelica Jimon Gonzalez
