I am so happy to say hello to you through this letter. This is your sponsored child, Marcela Cecilia De La Cruz Gutierrez, and I am 22 years old. In this opportunity, I want you to know that I am deeply grateful to you for blessing me with food through LW-Adopt A Child. My favorite food is fried chicken. I like celebrating Christmas there because the LW staff and collaborators perform nice choreographies which I enjoy so much.  

Now, let me tell you about my family and me. I help my mom with the household chores like cleaning and feeding our domestic animals. We have hens and pigs at home to sell. Fortunately, my mom and I are in good health. Let me tell you that my parents work as day laborers. My father is stable thanks to the treatment that he takes to control the gastritis. Besides working as a farmer for the neighbors, he also grows corn for our consumption. My family and I have been members of a Christian Church for many years. I welcomed Jesus as my Savior about ten years ago. My mom is sure about her salvation, so a teacher of the LW evangelism team congratulated her and encouraged us to continue persevering at church. To end this letter, I ask you to pray for health and provision for my family. May the Lord spill a lot of blessings upon your life today and always! 

Cordiality yours,  

Marcela Cecilia De La Cruz Gutierrez
