My Story

I lovingly greet you. I hope you are well as you read this letter and it will be a blessing for you to hear about me.  I am Manuela Tiniguar Gonzalez. I am 20 years old, and I spend time weaving typical napkins and blouses. My greatest wish is to find a good job so that I can help my parents. I pray for God to help us in everything. For me, Jesus is my friend. I have a best friend, Maria Tiniguar, and we have had a friendship for five years. I enjoy playing football with Maria and my siblings.

About my family: my father Pedro, earns a living working as a mason helper, and he also plants and raises corn for our family consumption. My mother Jeronima, stays at home doing her household chores and taking care of our family. She goes to wash clothes for others in order to improve our incomes. I appreciate my mother because she takes care of us with much love. My family attends a Christian church called “Soberano Rey”. My favorite activity at church are the youth services. I am grateful that the evangelism teachers took the time to encourage my family to continue trusting in God. God bless you in everything that you do.

Best wishes,

Manuela Tiniguar Gonzalez
