My Story

Hello! I am so happy to know that you are reading my information. I want you to know that a member of the LW staff and my older sister helped me write this just for you. I am Juan Luis Felipe Chingo Benito, and I am 11 years old. The most exciting experience I have had was getting satisfactory results at school last year. That allowed me to attend third grade this year. God has been with me all the time. He has given me the wisdom to learn all I need to know. I want you to know that I have grown as a Catholic. I love Jesus because he is my best friend. The activity I enjoy the most at church is the Holy Mass. I want to share that my mother is always watching over our whole family, so I identify with her so much. She is a great housewife and sells chickens to help my father with the expenses.

He works hard as a farmer and a day laborer in our village. It is almost time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that I made a good friend about two years ago. His name is Jonathan, and he loves playing soccer like I do. See you later!

Warm hugs,

Juan Luis Felipe Chingo Benito
