My Story

I greet you excitedly, hoping your loved ones and you are doing well. My name is Sandra Abigail, and I want to share my news with you. My family and I still attend Ebenezer Church. We usually do it on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. My father still works in a printing shop to support our family. His name is Jerson Ivan Gonzalez Lucero, and he is 34 years old. My mom strives in her business to help with the expenses at home. Her name is Ana Silvia Asencio Fajardo, and she is 32 years old. She continues selling dobladas de papa (they are folded fried tortillas filled with mashed potato with red sauce, cheese, and parsley). Fortunately, my whole family is in good health. As for pets, let me tell you that we only have one dog at home.

I am 12 years old, and I am in good health. I was in fifth grade this year. I enjoyed attending school because I could spend time with my friends and learn the lessons much better. I hope to continue attending face-to-face classes next year. My parents did their best to support my school supplies, but it was not easy. Unfortunately, my parents do not earn much, and there are many bills like rent that they have to pay for. I would love to continue studying to become a nurse. I also would love to speak English someday. My favorite holiday is Christmas because of vacation. I like drinking lemonade, and my favorite sport is soccer. When my birthday comes, I love having a special meal to celebrate with my family. Taking advantage of this, I want you to know that LW is a great blessing for my siblings and me. To update you about my life, my mom and I gave all this information to a member of LW. See you later!

Kind regards,

Sandra Abigail Gonzalez Asencio
