My Story

Hello! I am Yasmin Karina de la Cruz Lopez, and I greet you in Jesus’ name. How are you doing? Thankfully, I am a healthy 7-year-old girl. I am pleased to tell you that I am in first grade. I want to share that one of the most exciting experiences I have had was going to the coast to visit my uncle and aunt on my father’s side. We stayed at their house for about three days. I could feel God’s love and presence while we spent good moments with them. I am glad because Jesus is my friend and savior. I love attending the Bible school on Sunday alongside other children at my church. It helps me know more about Jesus. We are members of Liberty Church. My parents enjoy participating in the Thanksgiving service at the end of the year. I identify with my mom because my facial features are similar to hers. She is a great housewife who dedicates part of her time to embroidering traditional blouses. She uses her income to contribute to the household expenses. My father is a blacksmith and strives to support our family. I will leave you now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes for you,

Yasmin Karina de la Cruz Lopez
