Hello! This is Fares Adonias de la Cruz Yat, and I am writing this letter to tell you how I am. I turned 12 in February, and I am well. I am doing a good job at school, and I am in sixth grade this year; I study in the mornings and do my homework in the afternoons. I love playing soccer on weekends. I have been blessed with lunches through Living Water, and all the dishes are delicious. Christmas celebration is one of my favorite activities at the program because I play different games.
I live with my parents in San Jose town. My father is only working at home because he is having a lot of knee pain. He already visited a doctor and is under a medical treatment. My mother is a housewife, and she sells her domestic animals to cover our needs. We grow corn for the family consumption, and we also raise hens, turkeys and pigs. We have accepted Jesus as our personal Savior, and we attend a Methodist Church. My father sometimes sings the praises, and my mom is one of the deaconesses. I tell you that my mother helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher, and she took advantage to ask for prayers for our whole family. I end my letter wishing you the best.
With much love
Fares Adonias de la Cruz Yat
