My Story

My full name is Astrid Andrea Brigith Pancha Gutierrez, and it is a big privilege to say hello to you through this letter. I am 15 years old, and I want to share a little about my life with you. I attend ninth grade at school and receive classes on the afternoon shift. I like helping my mom with the household chores on weekends. I live with my parents and youngest brother, Isaac. By the grace of the Lord, we are all in good health. My father is a farmer and carries people from one place to another in his car to earn an extra income. My mom is a housewife and still tends her own pharmacy to help my father with the expenses and needs. We have hens and grow corn for our consumption.

I ask you to pray for the well-being of my whole family and me. In advance, thank you so much. Let me tell you that we have been members of Liberty Church for many years. I am glad because I welcomed Jesus into my heart five years ago. My parents also did it several years ago. We are happy and grateful to the Lord because we have many benefits at LW-Adopt A Child, such as food and medicine. My favorite food is hamburger patties. I enjoy celebrating Christmas at the feeding program because of the lovely songs and gifts. To end this letter, let me tell you that a teacher of the LW evangelism team visited us recently to collect all this information. He also encouraged us to continue trusting in the Lord. I will leave you now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

Lots of love,

Astrid Andrea Brigith Pancha Gutierrez
