My Story

Hello, good afternoon! My full name is Miriam Elizabeth Soto Xar and it is such a blessing to write this letter and tell you a little bit about my life. I turned 20 years old in October and I am doing my best at school to become a pre-kindergarten teacher. I am in my second year (11th grade) of this professional career. I underwent an appendix surgery some months ago, but I am doing well. I am glad because I can attend the LW clinics to receive medical assistance and vitamins. LW-Adopt A Child has been a great blessing for many children and teenagers like me. What I like the most about the Bible lessons is the spiritual teaching that the evangelism team provides. My mother and I pray that God pours lots of blessings upon this charity organization to continue spreading the good news among children and teenagers. I prefer the cold weather rather than hot and I usually help my mother with the chores.

My mother is a single parent and makes a living by binding notebooks. She had an eye surgery recently, which was a success. Could you please pray for my whole family and me? We are a needy family and my mother sometimes has not had the resources to buy my school supplies which I need to continue preparing myself to work with children. About our spiritual life I tell you that we only attend a Christian group to look for God. We like persevering there because everybody is friendly and kind. We have assurance of our salvation because we are children of God and He forgave our sins. I am grateful to brother Juan Carlos (a member of the LW staff) because he shared the gospel with us as an encouragement to continue looking for God and trust in his promises. It is time to say goodbye, but I appreciate you took the time to read my information. Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely yours,

Miriam Elizabeth Soto Xar
