My Story

Hi! How are you? I pray that you are having a blessed life. My name is Fergie Sherlyn, and this is my story. I am in good health, and I am 15 years old; my birthday was in May. I am attending school, and I am in 9^th grade this year. I have a friend whose name is Viviana. I met her last year, and we like talking and doing our homework together. Carlos is one of my cousins and we have grown up together; we have a good relationship. One of my hardest experiences has been my grandfather’s death because I was very close to him; it happened 5 years ago. God has helped me to overcome his absence one day at a time. For me, Jesus is my heavenly father.

I tell you that my mommy has been father and mother for me since my biological father did not take responsibility for me. We have passed through difficult economic situations and only God has helped us to go ahead; He has been faithful with us. She earns a living by working as a maid. Thankfully, she is in good health. As a family, we are attending the Catholic Church; we enjoy all the masses. In this occasion, LW Evangelism teacher collected this information for my letter, and he shared God’s word and prayed for us; it helped us to feel peace in our hearts. Well, this is all for now, and I hope to have news from you soon.

Many blessings

Fergie Sherlyn Lopez Merlos
