My Story

Hello! I greet you excitedly, hoping you are having a fantastic day. I am Jelvin, 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 six years old, and by God’s grace, I am healthy. Because of my age, my parents did not enroll me at school this year. I hope they can do it next year. Until that happens, I have fun playing with my car toys. Something that I would like to do the most is riding bikes, but I do not know how to do it. I hope to learn soon. The fair of my town is my favorite holiday because of the amusement park. I love drinking Coca-Cola and eating hen creole broth, especially if it is my birthday. The Quiche dialect is my native language, but I want to learn how to speak Spanish. I hope to do it someday. Thank you so much for reading my news! I say goodbye to you for now, but I wish you the best.

In the name of Jesus,

Jelvin Elmer de La Cruz Pu
