My Story

PENDING PHOTO 2024

Hello! It is a blessing for me to write this letter to you. I hope this letter finds you having a beautiful day wherever you are. My full name is Marcelina Benito De La Cruz. Nowadays, I am 18 years old. I work alongside my mom on Thursdays and Sundays. We make and sell Guatemalan typical food in a place for other people. We do our best to help my father with the expenses at home. I usually help to do the household chores when I have days off. I live with my parents and youngest brother. I have four other siblings, but they already have their own families. My father makes tiles to support our family economically. Fortunately, we are all in good health.

We do not attend any church at the moment. I am glad because a teacher from the evangelism team shared a verse of the Bible with my family and me. I hope to attend church soon, so I ask you to pray for me and my family. Having tasty food for free at the feeding program is a great blessing for me. My favorite food is fried chicken. To end this letter, I want you to know that my older sister Josefina helped me to write this update for you. See you later!

Kind regards,

Marcelina Benito De La Cruz
