Nueva Esperanza

Child
My full name is Yesly Edith Contreras Oscal, and I fondly greet you in Jesus’ name. I am a healthy 11-year-old girl. I am enrolled at school as a fourth grader. I identify with my mom because she does her best so my brother and I have what we need. She works by making and selling homemade snacks on the streets of the first zone in Guatemala City. As for her health, let me tell you that she takes metformin to control diabetes and goes to the clinic for checkups. My mom and I used to travel and sell different products on the border between Mexico and Guatemala. I enjoyed it so much! Even though it is a long trip, God kept us safe all the time. If you ask me who Jesus is to me, I will say He is my best friend and savior. I attend a Christian Church called Sheep Shelter. I like being part of the youth meeting. My family still does not attend church, but I hope they do it soon. A member of the LW staff shared the gospel and encouraged them to seek the Lord. My mom and I took advantage of the opportunity to give all this information for you. See you later!
Kisses and hugs,
Yesly Edith Contreras Oscal
