My Story

I fondly greet you, hoping the grace of the Lord is with you and your loved ones. I am Agustina Roselia Garcia Chijal and it is such a blessing to share a little bit about my life with you. I am 9 years old and fortunately, I am a healthy girl. I am in second grade and after coming back from school, I usually help my mother to take care of my youngest brother. I like both cold and hot weather. I have received delicious food from LW-Adopt A Child at a nearby school, here in Pasojoc III village. That has been a great blessing for many children like me and my parents really appreciate it. Besides food, this organization provides spiritual guidance. Proof of that, sister Sandra (a member of the LW staff) recently encouraged my mother to continue persevering in her faith. She also took advantage of the opportunity to collect all this information to let you know about me.

My family and I are glad to be part of the Prince of Peace Church because we found a supportive and united family in Christ. My mother has assurance of her salvation because she received Jesus in her heart as her Lord and Savior. She is doing well and dedicates her full time to taking care of our family. She also raises chickens and embroiders typical blouses to sell in order to help my father with the expenses. My father is also doing well and works hard as a day laborer and farmer. My whole family and I usually travel to the coast and work in a coffee farm from November to January in order to earn a little extra income. While we are gone, my grandmother takes care of our domestic animals. She lives with us and my father covers her expenses. It is time to say goodbye, but I send you huge hugs. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Kisses and hugs,

Agustina Roselia Garcia Chijal
