My Story

Hello! It is a privilege for me to greet you through this letter. I am Floridalma, and I hope you are doing well. I attend a Christian Pentecostal Church called Power and Faith. My family and I usually attend our services three times per week. I love how preachers announce God’s news, so I hope to do it someday. We praise the Lord for all his love and mercy. He has blessed my family a lot through LW. I receive delicious lunches and medicine when it is necessary. The evangelism team shared the gospel with me and collected this information for you. My mother, Petronila Ajqui, is 36 years old. She keeps busy raising hens and pigs to sell, just in case of necessity. Besides that, we grow corn for our consumption.

My father, Juan Gomez, is 41 years old. He traveled to the United States about seventeen years ago; he sends us money and keeps in touch. I have heard that he works by packing chicken. Fortunately, they are doing well. Currently, I help my mother to do the household chores. I enjoy Christmastime so much because my family and I gather to celebrate. My favorite hot drink is Incaparina (a typical hot beverage). I do not have a favorite sport, although cycling catches my attention. When birthdays come, I get so excited. The last time I celebrated mine, I shared my happiness with my family. About my health, I want you to know that I suffer from respiratory issues. I am not taking medicine, but I will try to attend the LW clinic soon. This is all for now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my news.

Special regards,

Floridalma Gomez Ajqui
