My Story

Hello! How are you doing? From the bottom of my heart, I hope you are doing well. I am Brandon Isidro de la Cruz Ventura, and I am grateful to God for keeping my family and me healthy. I turned 13 years old in October, and everything is running well at school. I am in fifth grade. God has been faithful to us. As proof, He sent us his son to save us. Now, Jesus is in Heaven. I attend a Methodist Church called Rock of Salvation. My family and I like taking part in the different activities there, especially for the Thanksgiving services for the harvest.

I want to share that I have good communication with my parents, especially with my mother. She is a great housewife and embroiders typical clothes to contribute to the expenses. As you know, my father is dedicated to working as a farmer and a day laborer to provide our family with the essentials. Now, I want you to know that my best friend’s name is Jorge. We attend the same school, so we take advantage of recess to play soccer. Thank you so much for reading my information! My aunt, Maria Us Morente, and I hope you found this letter engaging. Until next time!

With much love,

Brandon Isidro de la Cruz Ventura
