My Story

Special regards from Tunaja village! My full name is Magdalena Gomez Morente, and I am so happy to share my latest news with you through this letter. I hope you find it engaging. I am a healthy 5-year-old girl. I still do not attend school, so I stay home with my mother. I love her because she takes care of me. We spend a lot of time together while my father works and my siblings attend school. She is dedicated to weaving and selling typical clothes, while my father works hard in the field, so we do not lack anything at home. My father is a farmer and day laborer in our village.

I get along very well with my older sister, Rufina. After she finishes with her duties, she plays with me. We love playing with dolls and kitchen toys. I want to tell you that my parents have taught me to love Jesus as my Savior and friend. He has kept my whole family healthy. We enjoy praising the Lord at church, especially when we have the church anniversary. We attend the Prince of Peace Church. I will leave you now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my information. May God bless you!

Sincerely yours,

Magdalena Gomez Morente
