This is a nice day to say hello to you, hoping you are enjoying a wonderful 2025. We are members of the same Christian Church. I like to participate and celebrate in the anniversary of my church. The LW teacher encouraged my grandmother to continue persevering in God`s path. She helped to collect this information for you. She takes care of us and she does home duties while my father works. Her name is Rosa Maria Sapon Lopez. She is in good health and she is 62 years old My father is earning a living by driving trucks. He covers our family expenses and he lives with us. My father is a hard-working man and he does his best for the family. 

I want you to know that I had my saddest experience when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I thank God because he has comforted me and I am grateful with him for his peace upon me. I feel his presence in my life. For me, Jesus is my friend.  I want you to know that I have a good connection with my father because he loves me so much. I play basketball with my best friends. Their names are Rubi and Katty and they are my cousins. We have been friends since we were younger.  My name is Astrid Gabriela Mendez Giron. I am a healthy 15 year old girl and I am studying the 9th grade at school this year. Thank you for your attention and I send you many blessings from the bottom of my heart! 

Cordially yours, 

Astrid Gabriela Mendez Giron
