I thank the Archangel of the Neighborhood for the gentleman withdrew his complaint that my son was damaging his property. He was caught drawing graffiti on this man’s house.

He payed for the damage learned the lesson what is the respect of the others’ rights means.

Our grandmother Margarita entrusted us with her animals while she went to Puebla to visit our aunt Juanita. But the spoiled grandmother’s pig Rosita escaped from me and my brother through our negligence. We couldn’t find her, and we entrusted ourselves to Saint Francis of Assisi, because our grandmother had a bad temper and she would be furious. Thank to the saint we found the pig near by the village and we caught her.

May 25, 1953, we went to baptize our Luisito. The bus broke down so we had to ride horses. We were in rush, so we rode full speed. My horse stumbled on rocks. We thank the Virgin of the Rosary because nothing happened with the baby at the falling. We still baptized him, and he’s all right.

So, without great effort, I managed to have a good yield. In that way I was able to collect enough money to open a fish shop at the town market.
