My Story

Special regards from Duenas town! I hope when you receive this letter, you are doing well alongside your family. I tell you that my siblings and I are so happy to go to the feeding program. I am Maria Romelia Castro Primero, and I appreciate all the blessings we receive there, thanks to the financial support of good-hearted people like you. I was enrolled there about three years. Fortunately, I am in good health. I like the hot weather because I like wearing fresh clothes. I am 14 years old and I sometimes picks coffee beans in a farm. Most of the time, I keep busy helping my mother to do the chores like doing the dishes or sweeping.

While we stay home, my father works hard as a farmer to support our family. I would like to be part of the worship band of my church since it sounds lovely. My family and I are members of the Christian Church called Jesus Comes Soon. My mother is assured about her salvation because she reads the Bible as the guide of life. Brother Emanuel (a member of the evangelism team) recently encouraged us to keep going and shared that the main key to get in Heaven is allowing God get into our hearts; my mother agreed with that comment and appreciated the time he dedicated to evangelize her. It is time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that I thank you so much for taking the time to read my information.

With love,

Maria Romelia Castro Primero
