E's Letter

Hello friends of ?Mujer Valiosa? (The Valued Woman). My name is ?E' and I am 31 years old.  I now live in Galicia (Spain).  I am Argentine, but was born in Uruguay. I moved to this town (Santa Comba) with my husband and two children about six months ago.  I don't have any family or friends here. Before, in Uruguay, we attended an evangelical church were my husband found Jesus and was baptized.
 
I am very depressed.   I am making life unbearable for my family.  I don't know where to begin to explain how I feel, but for you to get an idea, I have thought of ending my life, but I am a coward.  I have failed many people and now I don't have many friends. It is not because I haven't looked for some.  My husband is a good man.  I know that he loves me.  He is always trying to encourage me, as do my children.  They love me so much.  However, I feel very alone.  I have no job and I am in the house all day by myself.  I hate the place where I live.  I have never lived in a small town.  It only has a small plaza with a playground. There is nothing to do.
 
I thought this letter would be a long one, but I can't find the words...
 
Yesterday we went to another town where there was a fair with lots of games and rides.  Much like a park you would find in a big city.  I began to feel bad, uncomfortable, out of place and have entered into a depression. I feel horrible.  I cry all the time.  I can't stop.  My husband thinks I am mad about something, but that isn't it.  I can't explain what is happening to me, because I don't know.  I spend everyday crying and I feel very bad.  Don't tell me that God is with me.
 
Thanks for listening.
 
?E'

I am reminded daily that without producing our broadcasts, people like ?E' would not have anyone to reach out to.  What a responsibility we have. We have sent it to Carlos Fernandez, the DS in Spain, to help counsel this lady.
