My Story

Hello! My full name is Gabriela Fernanda Del Aguila Maldonado, and it is a big privilege to greet you through this letter. I am excited to share that I went to the beach a while ago. This was the happiest moment of my life because I was there for the first time. It is incredible to see how beautiful the sea is. My family and I had a lot of fun there. I am a healthy 14-year-old girl. I am enrolled in seventh grade again. I identify with my oldest brother because he is patient, loving, and supportive. We get along very well. He helps me when I need it the most. I am glad because my whole family is doing well. My mom works in the customer service area at a bakery to support my siblings and me. As you know, my father left my family and me many years ago. He is in the United States, but I have no idea what he does for a living.

However, he occasionally helps us a little bit financially. I do not attend any church at the moment, so a member of the LW staff shared the gospel with my oldest sister and me. He encouraged us to seek the Lord, which we appreciate so much. We took advantage of the opportunity to share all this information, just to let you know. See you later!

Kisses and hugs,

Gabriela Fernanda Del Aguila Maldonado
