Dear Padrino, I say hello to you in this beautiful day and I hope you are having a beautiful 2025. Through this letter, I want to share with you some news about me family and me. Unfortunately, my father is suffering from different pains in his body, He takes natural medicines to calm the pain because he has not visited the doctor due to a lack of money. My father`s name is Ernesto Garcia Coj.  At the moment, he works as a day laborer to support the family. My mother is a hard working woman and she earns a living by working as a day laborer and provides for our family’s basic needs.  Her name is Marta Garcia Ruiz, and she is in good health condition. We attend the Charismatic Church. My sister Candelaria helped the LW teacher to collect this information during the visit. 

My name is Cristina Elena Garcia Garcia and I am a 10 year old healthy girl. Unfortunately, I am repeating the 1st grade at school because it has been so difficult to learn the subjects.  I am doing my best because I want to pass the grade. Jesus is my savior, and I like to participate in the thanksgiving service in my Church. I want to let you know that I admire my mother because she takes care of us with much love. I have a good time with her. This is all for now and please remember that Jesus loves you and so do I! 

Sincerely yours, 

Cristina Elena Garcia Garcia
