Sharing Anecdotes


How are you, friends? I hope that you’re all doing great. I’m doing just fine.

It’s so hot lately. It’s incredible! It’s impossible! The heat over here isn’t like in Puerto Rico, for we don’t have much of a breeze in this area. And when I have basketball games, I don’t even wanna play.

Well, thanks for all your support for this blog. I never imagined that I would have so many visitors, even though many times I get behind on my posts.

Over here around 10:00 p.m. at night, we get together in groups to tell each other anecdotes, jokes, and things like that. Many times we just laugh, for there are some things that are hard to believe. There’s a new guy in my unit and he gets together with us as well, but I’ve never heard someone lie so much in so little time. Each time he arrives, sometimes I have to leave, being that I laugh easily and I don’t want him to feel bad. He’s said that he owns 43 trucks; he’s the third major distributor of flowers in the United States; that his parents were owners of the biggest chocolate factory in South America. That he used to travel in motorcycle through all Europe. Sometimes we see him coming and we start talking about any topic and he quickly says he’s had this or that. Yesterday I said that I liked bonsai trees and he said that that was the only thing he had planted in his backyard. There have been different times when I’ve wanted to ask him what he’s doing in prison, because with everything that he has, he shouldn’t have had the need to do anything illegal. That guy is incredible. Before I forget, one of the biggest lies he said were that he has been at the Vatican Library. What do you think about that?

This is all for now. Take care everyone, and see you next time.

Sincerely,

Pedro

Faith

Faith begins by believing in your heart that what is right has a chance.

Faith is knowing in your heart that good can overcome evil,
that the sun can shine in a rainstorm.

Faith is peaceful and comforting, because it comes from within
where no one can invade your private dreams.

Faith is not something you can demand or command;
it is a result of commitment to belief.

Faith is believing in something you can't see or hear, something deep inside
that only you understand and control.

Faith is trusting in yourself enough to know that no matter
how things turn out, you will make the best of them.
