My Story

Hello! How are you? This is Angel De La Cruz Mendez. I send you many greetings, and I am happy to tell you about my life. Thank God, I am fine, and I turned 16 in June. I no longer attend school. I am working as a day laborer and I am helping my family financially. I like going out with my friends on weekends. I am grateful to Living Water because I have been blessed with presents through the feeding program when they celebrate Christmas. My favorite dish at the program is fried chicken. I would like to ask for your prayers for my family and our well-being.

I live with my parents in a place called “Pacoc 1”. My dad works as a day laborer, and he goes to cut sugar cane at the coast for six months. My mom works hard at home and takes care of us. We raise and sell hens and pigs, and we also grow corn and black beans but they are for our consumption. We attend Full Gospel Church, and LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to continue trusting in God. My mother helped me to give all this information to an Evangelism teacher. I want to end my letter giving you thanks in advance for reading my letter.

With much love

Angel De La Cruz Mendez
