My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you through this and I hope our Lord is blessing you! My name is Leonardo Cruz Grave. I am now 14 years old. At school I am in 6^th grade, and I receive my classes in the morning. I help my mother feeding our domestic animals, especially on weekends when I have more time. My father makes a living by farming the land and he also travels to the coast from November to February. Thankfully, he is supplying the family´s needs. Meanwhile my mother does the housework and takes care of my siblings and me. We raise hens, pigs and cows for selling, and we grow corn for our livelihood.

I love the Christmas activity that evangelism teachers organized in the feeding program because I receive a gift at the end of the activity. I thank God for blessing me with food; the meal I love the most is fried chicken. My parents have welcomed Jesus into their hearts and we are members of the Prince of Peace Church; we trust our salvation in God. We are quite well, but I want to ask for your prayers for my family, especially for my father who is working away from home. To end my letter, let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. I hope you like my letter. May God bless you wherever you go!

Kind regards,

Leonardo Cruz Grave
