In 1998, my family sent me to live in another part of Peru, for financial reasons.  During this time, I learned to rebel because I was living in a different culture.  Because I'd had to work from such a young age, I thought that God had treated me badly.  After three years away from my family, I moved to Cotahuasi where my parents were missionaries.  During this time living with them, I came to realize that I wasn't the only person who was suffering, and in fact many people even suffered worse than me.  I gave my life over to Christ because I didn't want to be the same as the rest of the world.  God showed me that I was a sinner and lost in my ignorance, and that I needed Him.  Days later I got baptized.  The only thing I wanted was to proclaim His word wherever possible.  I learned to play guitar, and since then I've been praising God with all my heart.  I know I'm very young

young, but from this young age I want to serve God.  I want to continue working as a missionary, and now I'm studying nursing to be able to serve even better in His ministry. 

Responsibilities include evangelism, music, assisting other missionaries, youth group, helping run church services in remote villages.
