My Story

Hello! My name is Erika Maribel, and this is my information. I am 22 years old, and my birthday was in January. I am in good health, and I keep busy at home. I wash clothes and the dishes. I love cold weather because the heat exhausts me. I have been attending the feeding program for about 14 years. I attend Christian Life Church with my family, and I am serving God in the youth group. I feel motivated to attend my church because we are all like a family in Christ. I have accepted Jesus in my heart, so I am secure He will receive me in His kingdom.

My parents are in good health, and they do their best to cover the family needs. My father works as a farmer or day laborer while my mother raises and sells hens; she also dedicates her time to doing the housework. My parents are grateful to LW Ministry for letting me attend the program and enjoy delicious meals; they were so happy when they found out that this Ministry helped needy families like mine. We share the house with my oldest siblings and their families, and we also share the home expenses with them. My father helped me with this letter, and he took this opportunity to ask for your prayers for my sister and me so that we continue serving God. I say goodbye to you for now.

With much love

Erika Maribel Gutierrez Garcia
