Good morning! It is a great blessing for me to be part of the feeding program from Living Water. This is Edwin Eduardo Gomez De La Cruz. My current age is 16 years old. We are a Catholic family; we like to participate in the Thanksgiving to honor Saint Paul. My mom has Jesus as her savior. We appreciate that the evangelism teacher encouraged us to continue trusting in God. My dad works both as a farmer and day laborer. Due to the surgery he had, he is resting but normally, he provides for our home expenses. My mom does the housework, raises hens and pigs for selling to get income. Fortunately, my older siblings are working and help my parents to supply our needs. We have received economic support with my father´s surgery and my appointments at the hospital.    

I no longer attend school some years ago due to a lack of resources. I get along very well with my parents; they care for me and advise me to have a good future. My nephews Marvin and Alexander are also my friends; we like to play football. Sometimes, we go to collect firewood together. I usually work as a day laborer but recently I suffer from a shoulder dislocation and I have to rest for a full recovery. I am having my checkups at the Public Hospital in Joyabaj. My father had a prostate surgery about 8 months ago. We trust in God and we are sure that he is with us all the time, especially in my father´s surgery and is helping me so that my shoulder gets better soon. As a family, we pray to God and ask for wisdom and peace to deal with the various situations that come our way. I would like you to know that my mom shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. May our Heavenly Father bless you! 

Kind regards, 

Edwin Eduardo Gomez De La Cruz
