Kind regards to you and all your loved ones. My full name is Marvin Eduardo De La Cruz Gutierrez, and I am excited to share my information with you through this letter. By the grace of God, I am a healthy 17-year-old boy. I am a mason and work hard alongside one of my uncles and my young brother Ruben. This job has allowed us to earn a little money by ourselves and help our family economically. I feel blessed and privileged to be part of LW-Adopt A Child because I have medical and dental care; if I need treatment, LW provides me with that for free. I enjoy attending the feeding program because I can have warm and delicious food like fried chicken. That is actually my favorite. Besides those benefits, I can celebrate Christmas and receive a nice gift at the feeding program.
Now, let me tell you a little about my family. My father is in good health. He works as a day laborer and farmer. He also grows corn for our consumption. My mom also works as a day laborer and sells hens to help with her income at home. She is in good health and welcomed Jesus as her Savior at our church many years ago. We have been members of the Pentecostal United Christian Church for many years. To end this letter, I tell you that a teacher of the LW evangelism team shared the gospel and encouraged my family and me to continue working for her salvation. I say goodbye to you now, but please do not forget that I appreciate you taking the time to read my information. May God bless you today and always!
Sincerely yours,
Marvin Eduardo De La Cruz Gutierrez
