My Story

I feel blessed by our Lord Jesus because I am greeting you with all my love and I am able to tell you my little story. My name is Mariano De la Cruz Gutierrez and I am thankful to God because my parents and my whole family are doing fine and blessed.

Currently, my mother is weaving typical bags called “Morrales” to sell and earn some money to support my father with the home expenses. Her name is Manuela and my father`s name is Pedro. He earns a living by working as a day laborer. Nowadays, he travels to the coast every two months to pick coffee beans and then he returns to our home. I have a good emotional connection and communication with them.

Jesus is in heaven and I like to offer him vigils and I enjoy receiving the holy supper in my church. As you know we are members of Pentecostal Christian Church and my mother was encouraged to continue growing in her faith by LW team and is assured of her salvation. She helped to collect this information. My best friend`s name is Juan and we like to play soccer together. We met when we were younger. I am a thirteen-year-old boy and I am studying the sixth grade. I am in good health and I feel blessed because God gives me life and has been so good with me because he watches over me all the time. Thank you for taking the time to read my news. I love you so much!

In Jesu`s love,

Mariano De la Cruz Gutierrez
