My Story

Hello! It is such a great pleasure to share a little about my life with you. I hope this letter reaches you at a good moment. I am Gloria Hermelinda Toj Chingo, and I am 13 years old. I am deeply grateful to the Lord for always being with me. Thanks to his help, I got satisfactory results at school last year, which made me so happy and allowed me to attend the fourth grade this year. I want to share that I made a good friend about three years ago. Her name is Lesly, and we love drawing and playing soccer when we meet. About health, let me tell you that my whole family and I are doing well.

My stepfather works hard as a day laborer and a farmer, while my mother keeps busy doing the chores and raising domestic animals to sell. She also works as a day laborer to contribute to the expenses. I am a lucky girl because one of my aunts loves me so much. I have a good emotional connection with her. It is almost time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that a member of the LW staff shared a verse from the bible with my older sister recently. He encouraged us to seek the Lord because we still do not attend any church, so I hope we can do it soon. After hearing the good news, we took advantage to share all this information. Thank your kind attention! May God bless you!

Sincerely yours,

Gloria Hermelinda Toj Chingo
