My Story

Hello! My name is Wendy Magaly, and I am writing these lines to tell you a little about me. I live with my maternal grandfather, Sebastian who is 53 years old, and my aunt, Maria who takes care of me. My grandpa works as a farmer and day laborer while my aunt is in charge of doing all the housework. My aunt, Estela, is the one who covers my needs. She works in a tortillas business in Guatemala City, and she comes to visit me every 7 months; she stays with us for two months. I have communication with her every day, and she sends us money every month. I do not know anything about my biological father. My mother has another family, and she only sometimes has communication with me even though she lives near me.

My family and I are attending the Catholic Church, and we love it when there are special masses to bless the seeds. I have learned about Jesus, and I know He came to die for our sins. LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue seeking God. We have not passed through difficult or hard situations as a family, and we are very grateful for that. I tell you that I am in 4^th grade this year, and I am 10 years old. I am fine and healthy. I have a friend whose name is Glenda, and we like doing our homework together; we have been friends since we attended 1^st grade. I feel happy to spend time with my aunt Maria, and she is the member of my family with whom I identify most.  In this occasion, she helped me with this letter. I hope you find it interesting.

Cordially yours

Wendy Magaly Garcia Garcia
