My Story

Hello! How are you? I am Yulsy Marleny Gutierrez De La Cruz, and I am writing this to update my personal information. My father’s name is Tomas, and he is 49 years old. He is in good health, and he works as a mason. My mother’s name is Gregoria, and she is in good health too. She stays at home doing the housework and taking care of the family. At the moment, our needs are groceries. We grow corn, and we raise cows, sheep, turkeys and hens, and all these are for the family consumption. We are still members of Spring of Life Church, and we attend services twice a week. We are assured of our Salvation.

I am 6 years old, and I am in good health. I am now in kindergarten, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes.  It has been difficult for my parents to cover my school expenses. I want to become a singer when I am older. I tell you that I speak Quiche dialect as my first language, so I have to improve my Spanish. My favorite celebration is New Year because it is a new beginning. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking peach juice. I would like to receive a “piñata” for my birthday. Living Water is very important to me because you have blessed me in a big way. May God bless you!

With much love

Yulsy Marleny Gutierrez De La Cruz
