My Story

Hello! I greet you excitedly, hoping you are having a fantastic day. I am Olga, and this is my update. My family and I still attend Liberty Church; we usually do it every Tuesday. We are grateful to LW because my siblings and I accepted the Almighty as our Savior. Undoubtedly, this has been the best thing that has happened to us. Andres De La Cruz is my father, and he is 35 years old. He has lived and worked in the United States for about one year. He makes a living on a farm by looking after cows to support our family. Fortunately, his health is good. My mother, Olivia Pu, is 32 years old. She dedicates her time to doing the chores and taking care of my younger siblings and me. She is also healthy, fortunately. My family is large, so we have had trouble buying food supplies like corn, cereal, and beans.

Therefore, we do our best at home; we grow corn, plumb, peaches, and chayote for our consumption. We also have a few chickens, turkeys, one goat, and one dog. I am seventeen years old, and by God’s grace, I am healthy. I help my mother to do the chores. I like cooking, so I hope to learn how to cook different dishes soon. My favorite holiday is Christmas because of the blessed gifts that my siblings and I receive at the feeding program. I love drinking apple juice, and my favorite sport is soccer. The Quiche dialect is my native language. I hope to learn how to speak Spanish someday. I had my birthday in June, and I enjoyed it a lot. My whole family was with me to celebrate it. That is what I love doing the most for my birthday. Thank you so much for reading my news! I say goodbye to you for now, but I wish you the best. See you later!

Many kisses and hugs,

Olga De La Cruz Pu
