My Story

Hello! I feel so blessed to share a little bit about my life with you. My full name is Walter Mendez Garcia, and I hope you find this information engaging. I am 8 years old, and I am so happy because I am in first grade this year. I trust Jesus is good. He has always helped me at school a lot. Besides that, He has kept my family and me safe from illnesses. My parents are the best parents ever! I admire them because they do their best for my siblings and me. While my mother takes care of us, my father works as a farmer and day laborer. To earn an extra income, my mother raises and sells chickens at home.

As for our spiritual life, we attend the Prince of Peace Church. The Thanksgiving services for the harvest are the most engaging activities we enjoy taking part in. I want to share that I get along wonderfully with my brothers, Juan and Mateo. They are my best friends! We have a lot of fun playing soccer. This is all for now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter. My mother and I were pleased to share all this information with LW. Have a wonderful day!

In Jesus’ name,

Walter Mendez Garcia
