My Story

Hello! I hope my letter finds you well. I am Teresa Fabiola, and I am happy to write you and tell you about my life. First let’s talk about my family. My father’s name is Jose, but he is not part of my life since he abandoned us. My mother’s name is Luisa, and she is in good health. She is 41 years old, and she works as a teacher to cover our needs. We have one dog as a pet, and we do not have crops; we have to buy our basic grains. We are a humble family, and our needs are school supplies. We continue being members of the Catholic Church, and we attend the mass on Sunday. We are assured in our Salvation, and LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue trusting in God. 

I am healthy, and I am 12 years old now. I am in 6^th grade, and I prefer to attend school in person because I learn more, and I can solve my doubts. It has been difficult for my mother to support me with my studies since she is a single parent. I want to become an actress, and I would like to learn the English language. I like playing basketball, and I love drinking strawberry shakes. I enjoy spending my birthday with my family and friends. My favorite season is summer because of the weather, and I can go to other places. Living Water is very important to me, and I am blessed with food twice a week at the feeding program. I say goodbye to you for now. May God bless you!

All the best

Teresa Fabiola Laynes Luis
