My Story

Hello! How are you? I pray you are having a blessed year together with your loved ones. I want to start my letter explaining to you about my school grades. Last year, I attended 7^th and 8^th grade at the same time, and I was able to do it thanks to a government program. For this reason, I was in 9^th grade this year; classes are over, so I am now on vacation. I hope I have passed my grade because I would like to continue studying if my parents have the resources for it. I have a friend named Rosa Pu, and I like going out for a walk with her; I met her five years ago.

My mother works hard at home, and she raises hens and grows corn to improve the income. I would like to ask for your prayers for her life since she is suffering from diabetes; she is already under a medical treatment. She helped me to give my personal information to LW Evangelism team during their visit this year. She is the member of my family with whom I identify most. My father continues living in the United States, and he is now working in a flower shop. He keeps in touch with us and sends money every fifteen days.

We have accepted Jesus as our personal Savior, and we are members of a Pentecostal Church called Prince of Peace Church. We enjoy all the activities done there, but our favorite ones are the thanksgiving services for the harvest. For me, Jesus is my friend and protector. I close my letter hoping to hear from you soon. May God bless you!

With much love

Laura Hermelinda Ruiz Pu
