My Story

Hello! It is a pleasure to greet you by this letter hoping you are blessed and doing fine. This is Estefany Josefina Luis Riz and I am 11 years old. I am so happy to update your information about my family and me. Currently, we are not attending church because it is located far away from my house. We thank the LW evangelism team for sharing the gospel with us. My mother Catarina Riz De La Cruz is 36 years old. She does the chores at home and she continues raising hens, sheep, and pigs for selling to get some income. In addition, we grow corn for our consumption. My father is Victor Luis Garcia and he is 39 years old. Nowadays, he is still working as a farmer and day laborer. In addition, he goes to the coast to pick coffee beans during the season. Thank God, my family, siblings and I are all in good health.

This year I am in 6th grade at school and receive face-to-face classes. I am learning a lot with this study method. My parents are doing their best to support my siblings and me at school in spite of they do not have a stable and good job. Nowadays, school supplies are expensive and it is very hard for them to cover our expenses. I love Christmas time because we light fireworks. Fruit juices are my favorite.  In the future, I want to be the best doctor, it is my dream. I would like to learn English; this is an interesting language. What I like to do on my birthday day is to open the special gifts that I receive from my loved ones. I do not have a special sport but I like running outside. My family is so grateful to you and to LW because we have been blessed in our lives for instance, with the meals, medical and dental attention, and spiritual support. We are a humble and big family, so our priority needs are corn, groceries, and clothing. May God reward you for all you have done for me!

Warm greetings and hugs to you,

Estefany Josefina Luis Riz
