Hello! Madrina how are you? I hope you and your family are well and enjoying the blessings of Jesus in your daily life. I want to tell you a little about my family and me with this letter in this opportunity.  I hope you enjoy reading my updated information because it is especially for you with all my love. 

About my family: As a family, we are grateful for every benefit that I have received from the LW Ministries and I want to tell you that we are attending the Catholic Church and we believe in God. LW teacher encouraged my mother to continue seeking God during the visit and we are grateful for the advice. My mother`s name is Ana Benito Riz. She lives with us and she continues raising hens to sell and get some income. She takes care of the family and she accepted Jesus in her heart five years ago. Unfortunately, she is suffering from gastritis, but she visited the doctor and she is under medical treatment. My father´s name is Roberto Calachij Garcia. He lives with the family and he is a healthy man. He provides for our family expenses by working as a day laborer.  I would like to ask for your prayers for my mother`s health. 

About myself: I am Juana Calachij Benito and I am 15 years old. I am a healthy girl and I am not studying this year due to a lack of money, but I am embroidering napkins to sell and earn some money. I spend my weekend helping my mother with chores at home. I accepted Jesus in my heart five years ago. LW Ministries has blessed my family and my life through the delicious meals for lunch like fried chicken that I love eating there. In addition, I have been blessed with medicines in the medical clinic. I enjoyed eating the delicious and special lunch during the Christmas celebration at the Feeding Center in December. Thank you for sponsoring me with much love. You are a gift from God in my life! (My mother provided this information to the Evangelism teacher) 

Lots of love, 

Juana Calachij Benito
