My Story

Hello! I fondly greet you through this letter. I am Sherlyn Alessandra Samayoa Gonzalez, and I hope you are having a lot of success in everything you do. Fortunately, I am a healthy 14-year-old girl. I am in sixth grade this year. I want to share that a dog bit me some months ago. By the grace of the Lord, my wounds healed quickly. The dog attack could have been worse, but Jesus did not allow it. I am sure that He is my faithful friend and always takes care of me. I am grateful to Him because my parents are doing well. The person who I feel closest to is my mother because we trust each other. She works as a cook to contribute to the household expenses.

I want to use this opportunity to ask you to pray for my father. He has had to work extra hours as a messenger to pay some debts that he has. While they work, one of my aunts takes care of me. We do not attend any church at the moment, so a LW staff member encouraged us to do it and shared a verse from the bible. My aunt and I took advantage to provide all this information so you could hear about it. See you later!

Kisses and hugs,

Sherlyn Alessandra Samayoa Gonzalez
