I greet you fondly in the name of Jesus. My name is Elida Marisol Chitic Gonzalez, and I hope you like this updated information. My mom and I were glad to provide it to LW just for you. I am grateful to God because my whole family and I are healthy. I am 14 years old, and I no longer attend school because of a lack of economic resources. I use my time to help my mom with the household chores. I identify with her because she is a good housewife. She is still teaching me how to do the chores. She takes care of me so much and does not allow me to go for walks alone because she is afraid something will happen to me.  

On the other hand, my father works hard as a day laborer and farmer. He also raises and sells cows to earn extra money and support our family. I want to share that one of the saddest experiences I have had was my grandfather's death. He passed away a few years ago. That made me feel devastated, but God comforted my heart. I have learned so much about Jesus at my church. Therefore, I know He is Holy and my Savior. We are catholic people and enjoy celebrating all the activities. Our favorite activity is the anniversary of our church. I will leave you now, but I wish you all the best for you and your loved ones.  

Sincerely yours,  

Elida Marisol Chitic Gonzalez
