My Story

I fondly greet you, wishing you a lot of success in everything you do. I am Estela Pastor Benito and I am 10 years old. By the grace of the Lord, I am a healthy girl. I am in third grade this year. My best friend’s name is Estela. We became friends when we started school. We usually gather to do homework. I am so happy because Jesus is also my friend. I have learned that He delivered his life to pay for our sins. I trust God’s presence is with my family and me, especially with my father. Even though his hearing is poor, he strives by growing and selling tomatoes to move forward. My mom is a housewife and also helps my father with the sales. I identify with her because she lovingly teaches me to cook. I want you to know that I attend the Catholic Church with my mom. I like attending Mass, especially for the First Fruit Presentation. To end this letter, I kindly ask you to pray for my father so he seeks the Lord. Until next time!

Kisses and hugs,

Estela Pastor Benito
