My Story

Hello! This is Madelin Yorleni, and I am writing this letter with my mother’s help. I am a little girl who is just 5 years old. I am in good health, and I do not attend school yet due to my age. I enjoy playing toy dishes and coloring. My cousins, Astrid and Henry, are my friends too, and we like playing together. I feel blessed to have my paternal great-grandparents with me. They love and take care of me, and I identify a lot with them. My father is abroad. He lives and works in the United States, but he keeps in touch with us every day. He works as a mason, and he sends us financial support every 20 days. My mother works in a grocery store, and she can take care of us because we go to work with her. Thank God, my parents are both in good health.

I want to share with you that God has been good with my family and me. There was a time that we were facing a very difficult economic situation, and we did not know what to do. But God, in his mercy, provided work to my parents, and we have been going ahead little by little. I have been able to feel God’s presence in my life. I have learned about Jesus who is love; I know He is always taking care of all of us and providing whatever we need. As a family, we are attending the Catholic Church, and we enjoy it when there are thanksgiving masses; we also love the patronal feast. We have put our trust and faith in God, so we are secure in our Salvation. LW Evangelism team has also encouraged us to continue believing in our Lord. I say goodbye to you for now, and I hope to have another opportunity to write you.

With much love

Madelin Yorleni Luis Luis
