My Story

Hello! Madrina how are you? I hope you and your family are doing fine and enjoying the blessings of God in your daily activities. It is a good opportunity to tell you a little about my family and me through this letter. About me: I am Sandra Alicia Ponce Utzoy and I am 11 years old. I am a healthy girl. I am in 4^th grade at school this year and I go to study every morning. After that, I help my mother doing chores at home and I do my homework.  I spend my weekend by playing tag with my siblings at home. LW has blessed my family and my life through the delicious meals for lunch like the fried chicken that I love eating. Moreover, I have been blessed with some medicines through the medical clinic and the special gift during the Christmas celebration at the Feeding Center in December. In the future, I want to become a volunteer and serve other children there. My family is grateful for every benefit that I have received from the Ministry.

About my family: My father`s name is Pedro Ponce Mucia. He lives with the family and he is in good health. He provides for my economic needs by working as a farmer and day laborer with my brother Israel in the coast. Moreover, he and the whole family go to the coast to pick coffee beans during three months of the year in the harvest season. In addition, he grows corn and black beans for our family’s consumption. My mother`s name is Maria Utzoy Simaj. She lives with us. She is in good health. At the moment, she is a housewife and she continues raising hens, pigs and turkeys to sell and get some income. I ask for your prayers for provision to be able to buy our groceries in the market every week. As a family, we continue attending the Prince of Peace Church. The LW team encouraged my older sister to continue seeking God during the visit and she is sure of her salvation. I hope you enjoy reading my letter because I send you this with all my love. Thank you for the letters you have sent me and for the support and love! (My older sister Juana Ponce provided this information to the Evangelism teacher)

Lots of love,

Sandra Alicia Ponce Utzoy
