My Story

My name is Aura Maribel Ordonez Luis, and I am excited to update you about my life through this letter. Fortunately, I am in good health. What about you? I turned 13 years old in January. I do not attend school because I no longer want to continue studying. Currently, I help to do the household chores. Let me tell you that LW has blessed me with

medicine for free. Besides that, I can enjoy delicious food at the feeding program. My favorite food is fried chicken. As you know, the staff organizes a Christmas party for many children, teenagers, and older people at the end of the year. What I like the most is receiving a Christmas gift.

I ask you to pray for my whole family and me. My father continues working hard in the United States to support us economically. Fortunately, he is in good health. He works in a car wash and keeps in touch with us. My stepmother is a housewife and looks after my young siblings. She is also in good health. My family and I also raise hens to earn a little money. We also grow corn for our consumption. We have been members of Assembly of God Church for some years. We are grateful to the LW staff for encouraging us to continue growing spiritually. I will leave you now, but I want you to know it was a pleasure to greet you. I hope to hear from you soon.

Many kisses and hugs 

Aura Maribel Ordonez Luis
