My Story

Hello, I am so glad to share a little bit about me! My name is Josselin Roxana De la Cruz Garcia. I am now 13 years old. For now, we do not attend any church since my mother had personal problems. We are very grateful for the encouraging words that one of the evangelism teachers gave us during the visit. He invited us to reconcile and look for a church to attend; we are going to think about it. Please pray for us so we can return to church soon. My mother struggles daily to provide for our needs. She does the housework and goes to work as a day laborer and farmer in our village. I thank God for blessing my family and me with good health.

Unfortunately, I did not pass my grade last year, and now, I am repeating third grade. Sadly, it is hard for me to comprehend the lesson and do the homework, and that is the reason I am repeating my grade. I am so grateful to my mom for the opportunity to attend the school, and I pray to God for wisdom so that I can take advantage of this chance to study. I have a friend named Vilma, and we have been friends for three years. We like to play football and do homework together. The saddest thing I have experienced so far is my father's abandonment. First, I was very sad and I did not want to go to school. But God has been good to me and has given me comfort to go ahead with my life. Jesus is my savior and faithful friend. This time, my mother, Juana, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. I would like to hear from you soon. Many and abundant blessings over you!

With much love

Josselin Roxana De la Cruz Garcia
