My Story

My full name is Beatriz Naomy Garcia Mancilla, and I cordially greet you. I hope you are doing well. I am 16 years old and luckily, I have not gotten sick. I am in tenth grade. I am enrolled in a professional career, which lasts three years to become an accountant. I kindly ask you to pray for my family and me. Sadly, my father had a stroke and passed away last year. His death has been the most tragic experience I have had. I know that Jesus is my savior, so I trust He is comforting and strengthening my heart. I identify with my mom because she is a brave and hardworking woman. She has taught me to strive every single day to reach my dreams. She makes a living as a domestic employee and goes for checkups at a public clinic because she suffers from high blood pressure. We attend a Christian church called the Sheep Shelter.

 My mom has the privilege to serve at church by doing different tasks. As for me, let me tell you that I take part in the worship group. I enjoy attending the rehearsals alongside my best friend, Nadia. I met her about three years ago. Thank you so much for reading my information! My mom and I were glad to share all my news with LW just for you.

With much love,

Beatriz Naomy Garcia Mancilla
