Good morning! It is a great blessing for me to be part of the feeding program from Living Water. I am Leonardo Cruz Grave. I turned 15 years old in April. My loved ones and I attend Prince of Peace Church. The activity, we enjoy the most is the thanksgiving service that we have at the end of the year; it is very special. It was so kind of a LW member to share the gospel with my mom. My dad works both as a farmer and day laborer. Moreover, he goes to cut sugar cane on the coast twice a year for four months. My mom works hard at home and raises domestic animals; she sells some if we have some need. I want to ask for your prayers for my parents’ health. My dad has a strong pain around his waist; he has not visited a doctor, so he massages himself to relieve the pain. My mom suffers from headaches. She uses ointment on her head. Thanks to God, my siblings and I are in good health.  

Last year, I finished primary school, and I no longer attend school this year because there are no middle schools where I live. I could travel to the town, but unfortunately, my parents do not have enough resources to pay for transportation. I am so blessed to have finished primary school; I am sure my Lord helped me to comprehend the lessons. At the moment, I help with farm work at home. I like to spend time with my mom; she is so patient. I have a friend and we like to chat about anything. We have been friends since childhood. I would like you to know that my mom, Catarina shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Well, this is all for now. I pray to God to bless you wherever you go! 

Warm hugs, 

Leonardo Cruz Grave
