My Story

Hello! My full name is Cristian Dario De La Cruz De La Cruz, and I am so happy to share my information with you. I am 14 years old, and I hope you find it engaging. By the grace of the Lord, everything is running well at school. I attend the seventh grade. I am glad to share that we are waiting for the sixth member of our family. Luckily, we are all doing well. I love my parents and identify with them because I inherited their physical features. My father is a farmer and a musician. He also rents furniture for parties to support our family. On the other hand, my mother keeps busy doing the household chores.

We attend the Methodist Church Rock of Salvation. I like my church because I have learned that Jesus played an important role in the salvation plan. He sacrificed himself on the cross to make us free. We enjoy participating in the activities at church, especially during the Thanksgiving services for the harvest. To end this letter, I want you to know that my best friend’s name is Francisco. I met him at school this year. We usually gather to talk during recess. Thank you so much for reading my letter!

With love and gratitude,

Cristian Dario De La Cruz De La Cruz
