My Story

Special regards from Tunaja village! I am delighted to write this letter to share some of my news with you. I want you to know that my oldest sister and a member of the LW staff helped me compose it. I am Jhostyn Antony Chingo Benito, and I am 9 years old. I had to repeat first grade this year. God has been faithful all the time. I used to get sick very often, but my mother prayed and He healed me. I want to share that I love Jesus because He is my best friend. I love learning about Him during the Holy Mass. My family and I are members of the Catholic Church. I want you to know that my whole family is healthy. My mother is a woman with a nice personality, so I identify with her so much.

She is dedicated to doing the chores and raising chickens to sell to contribute to the expenses. While she keeps busy at home, my father works in the field as a farmer and day laborer. It is almost time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that my best friend’s name is Juan. We have a lot of fun playing tag when we meet. Thank you so much for reading my information! I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

With much love,

Jhostyn Antony Chingo Benito
