Hello! How are you? I hope you are doing well wherever you are. I am Mateo Juan Carlos Luis de la Cruz. I tell you that I am in third grade this year, and I am studying in the mornings. I am fine, and I turned 9 this year. I go out to shepherd our goats on weekends. I am happy to be part of the feeding program, and I love eating fried chicken there. All the lunches have been a great blessing in my life, and I am grateful to you for your support to this Ministry. I love the Christmas celebration at the program because I receive a special present.  

As a family, we grow corn for our consumption, but we raise hens, goats and pigs for selling. My mother works hard at home and looks after our domestic animals. My father works butchering chickens, and he sends us money every month; he is still in the United States and communicates with us every day. We are assured of our Salvation, and we attend the Catholic Church. In this occasion, my mother helped me to give my information to the Evangelism team. I would like to end my letter by asking for your prayers for my family’s health. May God bless you! 

Sincerely yours 

Mateo Juan Carlos Luis de la Cruz
