My Story

Hello! How are you? I hope this letter finds you in good health. My name is Ruben Alexander De La Cruz Gutierrez, and I am writing you to tell you about how I am doing. I am 11 years old and I am in fifth grade this year. I attend school only on Monday, and that day, I also deliver my homework. It has not been difficult for me to study in this way because I pay attention to my teacher. My father does not have a stable job but he does his best to cover our needs; he is a farmer. My mother keeps busy doing the housework and taking care of the family. Due to the pandemic, there were days that we had nothing to eat at home since my father could not work. Really, God was faithful with us and helped us to go ahead from those situations.

God is a wonderful Father and has never abandoned us. Living Water provided us grocery bags when we needed them most, and we are very grateful for that. I pray God blesses this Ministry in a big way. Thank God, none of my family has gotten Covid-19, and we are all in good health. We attend a Pentecostal Church on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Lastly, I want to tell you that my mother helped me to give this information by phone to a LW Evangelism teacher. The staff did not meet us personally because they are avoiding physical contact as much as possible since they want to protect us from the current virus. I end my letter wishing you the best!

With much love and hugs

Ruben Alexander De La Cruz Gutierrez
