My Story

Hello, my name is Jonatan Alexander Rodriguez De La Cruz. I am blessed to be able to greet you today. I am 11 years old, and I am in the 5^th grade. I go to school in the mornings, and after classes, I like to play with my siblings. My family is doing well, thank God. My father’s name is Juan Rodriguez Ruiz. He works delivering products to a hardware store. My mother’s name is Rosa De La Cruz Riz. She stays at home as a housewife, and she also has a small convenience store that she tends to. My favorite part about the Christmas celebration at the end of the year is when we receive our gift. I love going to the feeding program each week, because we always eat a delicious meal. My favorite food to eat there is the beef patties. We have also been blessed by the medicine that Living Water provides for us. At home, we raise chickens and grow corn and beans for our own use as a family. I go to Prince of Peace Evangelical Pentecostal Church with my family. My mother received a presentation of the gospel from the LW teacher who visited us. She was encouraged by this and reassured in her faith. I thank you for taking the time to read my letter today. I hope you will keep me and my family in your prayers. I send you many hugs and kisses!

With much love,

Jonatan Alexander Rodriguez De La Cruz
