My girlfriend Rosa and I went for a walk. When we were passing by the cemetery we saw the dead men also walking around. We got so scared we almost died of fear. We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for we managed to run away before the dead men would see us and we were saved.

I thank the life that gave me so much and food for all my family and animals. Thanks.
