My Story

This is Keilin Gabriela Pena Martinez, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. At the moment, we are not attending a church but we hope to do it soon. We have two dogs as pets. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries and a wardrobe. My father’s name is Edras. He is 25 years old, and he is in good health. He works as a blacksmith helper to support us. My mother’s name is Yoselin. She is 25 years old, and she is in good health too. She does the laundry of others to help with the income.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 9 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 3^rd grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because I learn more and it is easier to study the lessons. It has been difficult for my parents to cover my school expenses due to our economic situation, but we have been able to go ahead. I want to become a doctor when I am older. My favorite season is summer because I like playing with water. I enjoy going out with my family when it is my birthday. I prefer swimming as a sport, and I love drinking sodas like Coca-Cola. I would like to learn English language in the future. Living Water is very important in my life, and I am grateful for all the blessings received. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
