I thank the Virgin of San Juan for helping me to get the international championship in the United States, in front of a big audience. I lifted high the name of Mexico and won all my rivals who fought bravely but at the end I was the indisputable winner. I testify that.

Virgin of Guadalupe, I thank you for helping me solve my problems. I noticed strange behavior in my husband. He began to dress up and put perfume on, and every third day he went out telling me he was going to see his mom. He knew that I don’t talk with his mom and he thought I wouldn’t go to look for him at her house. So one night I followed him. I imagined he’d sneak in some brothel that we have in four blocks from my house. But what a surprise I had—he was hugging and kissing another man. That I couldn’t stand and I kicked him out because he turned to be a faggot.
