This month we want you to get to know Dilcia a little better. We are so proud of who she is, how hard she works, and how she seeks the Lord. Here’s a little bit about her as told by no one better than Dilcia herself. Dilcia wrote this all by herself and she only needed help with a few grammar errors!

Hi. I’m Dilcia. I’m 17 years old. When I came to the Village I didn’t know anything about God, about making decisions, or about how to respect others. My life was a disaster. Then, Daddy Oscar and Mommy Amy and the people who help with Heart to Heart taught me how to follow God’s ways and to have a better life and future. I have been at the Village for seven years. I think that with God’s help I will be able to do anything, because God is the only way to continue. He is the only one who can guide you to a better life. My life at the Village is wonderful. The Village is a place where people love you so much and care a lot about you, and they teach you about God and about good things.

I am an intelligent, beautiful, kind, and lovely girl. I like to have a lot of friends. I am a friendly person. I like to learn English. I’m a smart person and my classes are very interesting. I learn new things every day. I’m learning how to speak better English. I know that God has wonderful plans for me. I love to learn God’s ways. I am thankful to God for the wonderful people He put in my life and for the way they are taking care of me. Only God can help you through every battle you will have in your life. I love to be a part of the Heart to Heart family, because I have learned so much about how to take care of and love so many different people.
