My Story

Hello! this is Maribela Dominga Hernandez Calachij and I want you to know that I am a healthy eleven year old girl. I am studying the 5^th grade at school. I am so happy because I have never repeated the grades and God has helped me to learn and understand the subjects through the years. I feel so happy. I can feel his presence in my life. Jesus is my friend and he forgives my sins. I attend the Church of Christ along with my family and we enjoy every service and activity in that place.  My mother helped collect this information during the visit and LW team encouraged her to continue attending the church.

Currently, my mother earns a living by weaving typical blouses to sell and get some income while my father works as a farmer and day laborer even though he is suffering from pain in his feet. His name is Camilo and he has visited the doctor from the public health center, but he continues suffering from the pain. I would like to ask for your prayers for his health. My mother`s name is Maria and I spend a lot of time with her when we do the household duties. My best friend is my brother Marvin because we play soccer together all the time. This is my updated information and I hope you like to read it. I hope you are doing well when my letter reaches you. Blessings to you!

Strong hugs,

Maribela Dominga Hernandez Calachij
