I am sending you many blessings from Chuchuca and hope you are enjoying a nice 2025. I want you to know more about my family and me through this. Praise the Lord, my parents are in good health condition and they take care of us and are doing their best for the family. My father is Carlos De La Cruz Ruiz.  He is a farmer and day laborer and he provides for our economic needs. My mother does the housework and she raises her hens and sheep to sell and get some income. Her name is Tomasa Riz. We are members of a Charismatic Church, and I like to participate in the special service praying for the people that have to emigrate to different countries. My mother provided all the information for the LW teacher during the visit, and she is assured of her salvation. She received nice and encouraging words to continue seeking God. 

My name is Mynor Anibal De La Cruz Riz and I am a 12 year old healthy boy. I study the 4th grade at school this year. Thankfully my family has been doing well and I feel God’s presence in my life because we always pray together. Jesus is my savior. I admire my mother because she is lovely and patient with me when she teaches some things that I need to learn. I have a good connection with her.  I have a best friend and his name is Aurelio. I enjoy spending time with him playing football. We have been friends for many years and I like our friendship. I say goodbye for now. I hope you enjoy my letter. 

Kisses and hugs
