My Story

This is Silvia Carolina, and this is part of my information. Let’s start with my family. I only live with my mother because my father is abroad. My mom is in good health, and she raises hens and weaves typical belts for selling. My father is in the United States, and he sends us money every month; we have communication with him every day. As a family, we attend Church of Christ, and to learn more about God is what motivates me to attend it. We know that we were saved since the moment we accepted Jesus in our hearts; all our sins were forgiven. We trust in God and our faith is in Him, so we try to follow everything that He advises us in the Bible.

I am 13 years old, and I am in good health. I decided not to continue studying this year because I no longer liked it. I now stay at home, and I am helping to sweep, make tortillas and wash the clothes. We are in winter time here in Guatemala, and I like it; I love the cold. I help with the church’s flower arrangements, and I would like to serve God in this area in the future. I have attended the feeding program for five years, and I have liked it a lot. I tell you that my mother was part of the program when she was a child and it motivated her to register me in it. She remembers that she attended the discipleship classes, and there, she sang praises and heard God’s word. She helped me with this letter and would like to ask for your prayers for my life so that God is always with me and looks after my steps.

Warm greetings
