On May 10, 1966, Mother's Day in Mexico, Linda Nelly Munoz-Rivera was born in Poza Rica, Veracruz, Mexico as a gift to her mother. She was a quiet but very happy child who loved to sing and play to be a teacher.

At the tender age of 10, approximately, she met Christ as her personal Savior and turned her life over to the service of Him who gave His life for her on a cross. At the age of 12 she began to use the gifts and talents God had given her as a teacher for children at church. She stayed constantly active for the Lord teaching classes at church, working in VBS', teaching at a mission of her church, giving courses to capacitate other teachers, working with the woman's group at church, helping out and then directing the intermediates group, serving as a counselor at youth camps, organizing and directing kids camps, serving on the board for the youth, singing specials at many churches, creating and teaching all kinds of crafts, utilizing her passion for all kinds of arts.

In 1985 Linda Nelly graduated from High School and in 1997 she received her BA in Psychology. In 1998 she arrived in the United States and a couple of years later she started working as a Day Care teacher. Very soon she gained her well deserved reputation as an excellent teacher and even the title of "my best teacher".

In the year 200 Linda Nelly got married and of that marriage the Lord blessed her with two precious treasurers that remain among us, Daniel(3) and Karla(7).

On November 3, 2008, Linda Nelly Munoz-Rivera finished the work God had for her to do here and went on ahead of us to the presence of her Creator and Heavenly Father, who those of us that know her Lord and Savior as our own will one day see her again.
