My Story

I am so glad to share my information in this opportunity! My name is Yohana Almendra Gonzalez de la Cruz. I am an 11-year-old girl. We are attending Prince of Peace Church and we like to participate in the First Fruit services; it is very special. My grandma is sure of her salvation and accepted Jesus in her heart. My biological father is not in my life because he abandoned us and we know nothing about him. So, my mother struggles to provide for our needs. She works in a tortilla shop in Guatemala City and comes to visit us only twice a year. She stays with us for three days, and then, she returns to her job. Meanwhile, my sister and I are under my maternal grandmother´s care. She is a housewife and raises hens to sell and get in income. I am so happy because my family and I are in good health.

I am very grateful to God for His help and wisdom so that I passed my grade last year, and now, I am studying fifth grade. I have a friend named Marisol; we have been friends since we were very young and we like to play tag. My grandma is very special, takes care of everything and watches over me so well. Jesus is my savior. I would like you to know that my grandma, Marta, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Thank you very much for stopping and reading my information. Every kind of blessing over you!

Lots of love,

Yohana Almendra Gonzalez de la Cruz
