My Story

Hello! This is Santos Alesandro De la Cruz Obispo and it is pleasure to share my latest update with you. I just turned 9 years old and fortunately, I am a healthy boy. This year, I attended school as a second grader. The school year ended recently, so I am on vacation. I like using my free time to help my mom with some easy household chores. What I enjoy the most is playing with my toy cars. I also like playing soccer with my friends. I am grateful for being part of the feeding program because I can have delicious meals for free. If you asked me what my favorite food is, I would surely say fried chicken. Christmastime is here and that excites me so much because of the annual Christmas gift that I can receive through the staff and missionaries.

Let me tell you that my family and I have been members of the Prince of Peace Christian Church for a few years. I recently welcomed Jesus into my heart as my savior. As for my family members, let me tell you that my parents also did it a couple of years ago. I appreciate the LW evangelism team because they encouraged my mom recently so she continues persevering at church alongside our family. Thankfully, my whole family and I are healthy. My mom is a housewife and prepares homemade snacks and hot drinks to sell. She uses her income to help at home with the expenses. Let me tell you that my father is dedicated to farming the land to survive and support our family economically. My family and I raise hens for our consumption or to sell in case of need. We also have cats, dogs, and doves at home as pets. I am glad because we have enough space to grow a little corn for our consumption. It is time to say goodbye, but I ask you to pray for the well-being of my whole family and me. See you later!

Kind regards,

Santos Alesandro De la Cruz Obispo
