My Story

I hope you are doing great! I was thinking about you today and wanted to send you a big hug in this letter. I have so many fun things to tell you! This is Maynor Mardoqueo De la Cruz Ajanel. Recently, I turned 10 years old. I am doing really well in 4^th grade at school. I feel so blessed to receive my meal at school, because it is near our home. I enjoy good health. During the afternoons, I like to help at home by feeding the piggy. I will tell you something interesting about our country: we only have two seasons here, winter and summer. My favorite season is winter because it is more refreshing.

Our home is always full of laughter. My parents do their best to provide us with the best life possible, and that makes me so happy. My father is a great father and he works farming the land in addition to working as a day worker. My mother is a homemaker, and she welcomes us when we come home from school. She improves our incomes by raising and selling chickens. By grace of God, my family is doing great and everyone is healthy. My parents are grateful for the support that we have receive through the Living Water. They remember when they heard about the feeding program that came to bless our community with free meals. Did you know that the Catholic Church has a spiritual growth group called Charismatic Renewal and we are part of it? We seek to have a good relationship with God and learn more about his grace. In the future, I would like to play piano in the worship team. My mother believes in God; she places her trust in Him as her Lord and Savior. She wants to ask for your prayers that her children will always seek God. This is all for now! Until we write again, take care!

With a giant smile,

Maynor Mardoqueo De la Cruz Ajanel
