My Story

Hello! How are you? I am fine and I hope you are too. My name is Erika, and this is my history.

I am 9 years old, and my birthday is in November. I am a student, and I am in 2^nd grade this year. In my free time, I help to sweep the yard. I like winter season because I can use my sweaters. I love my parents, and my father helped me with this letter. He works as a day laborer and does his best to cover our needs. My mother works hard at home and takes care of my siblings and me. At the end of the year, we all go to pick coffee beans at the coast for three months.

I have been attending the feeding program for about 5 years, and I have learned about God at the Bible classes; I like it. My parents want to express, through this means, that they are grateful to the Ministry and people like you who bless children like me. They are happy that we are part of the feeding program because we have received many blessings. My family and I attend Church of Christ, and learning about God motivates us to attend it. I enjoy singing, so I would like to serve God in this area. We have accepted Jesus in our hearts, so we are secure in our Salvation and that we will enter into God’s Kingdom. Thankfully, we are all fine, but I would like to ask for your prayers for our lives and health. I say goodbye to you for now.

Sincerely yours

Erika Gomez Simaj
