My Story

Hello! I greet you in Jesus’ name, hoping everything is running well in your life. I am Monica Esmeralda Garcia Benito, and I want to share a little about my life with you. Before starting, let me tell you that my oldest sister helped me write and share this letter with LW just for you. I am 10 years old and my health condition is good. I am grateful to God because He heals me when I get sick. Now, let me tell you a little about my family. Fortunately, everybody is doing well. I identify with my mom because I like doing the chores like her. She is a single mother, so she makes a living by washing clothes for other people to support her family economically.

We attend a Methodist church called Rock of Salvation. It is a blessing to be part of the church because there are always engaging activities there. I am glad because my oldest sister accepted Jesus as her savior a few months ago. Her name is Manuela Esperanza. I am in second grade again. I enjoy playing with my best friends, Deisy and Abigail, during recess. I met them about two years ago. Our favorite game is pretending to cook with plastic food. Until next time!

Kisses and hugs,

Monica Esmeralda Garcia Benito
