My Story

Hello! This is Yeison, and it is a privilege to greet you. I hope this letter finds you having a blessed day. Let me tell you that my family and I still attend The Prince of Peace Church; we usually do it on Mondays. A teacher of the LW evangelism team spoke with my mother to collect my information for you and share the gospel with her. We are sure the Lord is our savior, so the teacher encouraged us to continue trusting in God. Taking advantage of this moment, I want to thank you so much for making possible all kinds of blessings we have received through LW. My father is Eduardo Rodriguez and he is 27 years old. He traveled to the United States many years ago to support our needs. He works as a cook in a restaurant and keeps in touch with us often. My mother is Juana de la Cruz and she is 26 years old. She dedicates her time to do the chores and look after my siblings and me.

Our economic situation is weak since everything is expensive. Our priority needs are buying food and school supplies. However, we try to survive by raising pigs and hens and growing corn for our consumption. Thankfully, my whole family and I are healthy. I am ten years old and my next birthday will be in November. I love breaking piñatas (a traditional birthday puppet) to celebrate my birthday. I look forward to becoming a doctor. Therefore, I am doing my best as a fourth grader. I prefer to receive face-to face classes because I can learn more. I also would like to learn how to speak the Quiche dialect since my native language is Spanish. My favorite season is summer because I enjoy the weather, and the sun helps crops to bloom. I like drinking peach juice and my favorite sport is soccer. Thank you so much for reading my news! I say goodbye to you for now, but I hope to receive your letter someday.

With much love,

Yeison Moises Fernando Rodriguez de la Cruz
