My Story

Hello! My name is Ashley Anahi, and I am delighted to greet you through this means. I hope you are doing well. Let me tell you that my family and I attend a Christian Church called Ebenezer on Fridays and Sundays. Thankfully, we are all in good health. My name is German Orlando Torres Rodriguez, and he is 44 years old. He sells farming tools at the market to support our family. My mom is Maria del Carmen Valladares Castillo, and she is 51 years old. She helps my father with his business. We are deeply grateful to LW for blessing our lives with material and spiritual help. As for pets, let me tell you that we have two lovely dogs at home.

Now, I want to tell you a little bit more about me. I am 15 years old, and this year, I was in eighth grade. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because it helps me to study the lessons easily. The economic situation of my family has not gone well. We need groceries at home. Despite that, God has helped us in the most challenging moments. Fortunately, my parents did not have trouble covering my school supplies. My dreams are to become a stewardess and speak English. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers to accomplish them. Summer is my favorite season because I love going out with my family. I like drinking tamarind, and my favorite sport is swimming. To celebrate my birthday, I love having a delicious cake to share with my family. I will leave you for now, but I hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself!

Kisses and hugs,

Ashley Anahi Torres Valladares
