My Story

It is such a great pleasure to greet you through this letter. How are you doing? I am Cristina Chingo de la Cruz, and I want to share how my family and I are doing. By the grace of the Lord, we are healthy. I am 12 years old, and I attend third grade again. God has always been faithful to me. I can feel his loving presence when I spend time with my family. To celebrate the end of the year, we usually prepare a special lunch. That is the most beautiful experience I have had alongside them!

I want to share that I identify with my mother so much because we like raising chickens and talking. She keeps busy doing the chores and raising domestic animals to contribute to the expenses. She has chickens and pigs at home. My father continues working as a farmer and a day laborer in our village. My parents taught me that Jesus is God and He has given us life in abundance. We attend a nearby church and have a lot of fun taking part in the different activities organized by our siblings in Christ. I want to share that my best friend’s name is Ashly. We usually get together to play soccer. It is time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that my mother and I were glad to share all this information with LW, so you could hear about it. Have a wonderful day!

From the bottom of my heart,

Cristina Chingo de la Cruz
