My Story

Hello! I am so excited to share a little bit about myself through this and I hope you like it. My name is Merlin Esmeralda Garcia de la Cruz. I am 8 years old. My biological father is not in my life because he abandoned us two years ago, and we know nothing about him. My mom is a housewife, and now, she is not working because she recently gave birth. My stepfather works as a bricklayer and he provides for our home needs. I am so happy because my loved ones and I are in good health. At the moment, we do not attend any church. This time a LW member shared the gospel with us and invited us to attend a church and we hope to do it soon.

I am in first grade this year and I am so excited because I am learning how to read and write. I know that God is giving me the wisdom I need to learn. I have a friend named Bianca; I enjoy playing with dolls with her; we have been friends for a few years. My family says that I have physical features similar to those of my mother. I recognize that Jesus came to the world to give us eternal life. I would like you to know that my mom, Maria, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Thank you for stopping to read about me today. May God bless you wherever you go!

Lots of love,

Merlin Esmeralda Garcia de la Cruz
