Hello! I am glad to greet you. My name is Isabela de la Cruz Gutierrez. First, I want to thank you for taking the time to read about me. Thank you for the opportunity to share my news with you. Let´s start telling you that I am currently 24 years old. I am still at home helping with the hard housework. Now, I also help my mother by embroiling typical napkins. I spend my weekends doing chores also. Let me tell you that I feel happy to be part of Living Water because I received food and medical care that bless my life in a big way.  My favorite meal there is fried chicken. Fortunately, my health is good now. 

About my family, I remind you that my biological father did not recognize me. My mother established a new relationship with Mr. Camilo Ruiz, but unfortunately, they separated many years ago. He earns a living by farming the land and sometimes helps economically to my family. His health is good too. We only live with my mother Tomasa who sustains our family by embroidering typical napkins besides doing the housework. In addition, she raises chickens, turkeys and pigs and grows corn and beans, some for selling and some others for our consumption. I thank God because He is keeping her in good health. Well, I just want to add that this time I want you to pray for our family´s health. We have many needs, but health is necessary to keep working hard to continue forward. Our family continues attending the King of Centuries Pentecost Church. I feel happy to tell you that I am the leader of the worship group of my church. Thank you so much for having a good heart and loving me so much. Lastly, before saying goodbye, let me tell you my mother gave all this information especially for you. May God bless you abundantly! 

Best wishes, 

Isabela de la Cruz Gutierrez
