Random :)

Funny story from last weekend :) I went to the races to watch Joel again with all my cousins and siblings (Edward, Genesis, Cesar, Jabes, Rommel, and Jair). It was a blast to just hang out and take in everything. Unfortunately Joel didn`t win because the second gear on his car wouldn´t work. So, on his way home, he was going too fast, and the police turned on their signal to pull him over. But, the system in Mexico is very corupt. All the police want is for the owner of the car to pay them a little extra than what the ticket would cost and it wont go on file. But Joel didn´t have any money with him, soooo, he decided to run from the police instead. (Apparently he has done this many times before) But Edward dropped Jair and I off at the house, and Joel was behind us, and we saw him pull up to the door where they put the car for the nights, and they opened it. Then a police car wizzed by and they didn´t have time to put the car in the lot. So, they closed the door and ran from the police (they being Joel and his friend José) Then they jumped the walls of the houses to the road where Jabes was waiting in the truck to take them to Aunt Martha´s house. Craziness! It was an adventure, that´s all I can say!

Then on Saturday we did some painting at the Pastor´s house, which was really fun to get out and do some work :) I think we´re heading back tomorrow to finish up.

As for the week, lots of talking with my family. I received a card from my family in Midland with a CD of pictures which were really fun to show to my family here. They laughed a lot of me as a baby :)

And the other day I learned that Grandpa Decker, a person very influencial in my life passed away. It was really hard for me to hear because he had heart surgury about a month ago and I thought he was passed the worst, but I´m thankful for the support I´ve received from my group and my family through a sad time. But it´s happy at the same time because I know he is at peace with his Father in heaven. So if you think about it, pray for his family, because it´s always difficult to lose someone you love.

And have a wonderful weekend!
