My Story

I greet you cordially hoping you are blessed and in good health when my letter reaches you. I am Roman Birss De La Cruz Yat, and by the grace of God, my father is working as a day laborer for our neighbors and he grows corn. Currently, he suffers from uric acid, but he visited the doctor and is injecting some medicines. My father`s name is Pablo and my mother`s name is Juana. Nowadays, she is raising hens and cows to sell and get some income. She is a merchant and thankfully she is in good health. I have a good communication with her and I trust her. She is assured of her salvation and she helped LW team to collect this information. Jesus is the son of God and he is in heaven. I feel happy because my family and I belong to the Methodist Christian Church and we like to participate in the thanksgiving service for our first crops.

Unfortunately, I am not studying this year due to a lack of money. I only finished primary school the last year, but now I am shepherding the sheep and cows. God is with me and he has been so good to me. He watches over me all the time and I am thankful.

I am a fifteen-year-old teenager and Felipe is my best friend. We spend time together by talking a lot. We have been friends since we were younger. This was my updated information and may God bless you richly!

Yours truly,

Roman Birss De La Cruz Yat
