Week 37 He Lives!
Hey friends and family!
My first Easter in the mission! It was fun to spend it with gringos.
Our mamita fed us waffles today! It was a good day for waffles. We got a huge history lesson today in our monthly meeting with Presidente! We talked about how the Great Apostasy really came to be. It was pretty intriguing to learn from a historic standpoint of how the Apostasy really came to be. We also got a change to the mission. Not only now do we have an English tutor but also a family history consultant and guess who gets to be it for my district! Yep! Me... Now we are putting more emphasis on the importance of family history because it helps so well with retention of members.
We ate even more waffles today! So many waffles... We walked up and down a dirt road in Nayon contacting people trying to find a reference. We finally gave up and went to talk to a member about a few things that we were doing to help a less active with all of her problems. Last week, we found a family by the name of Añapa and had an appointment with them tonight. It was a little awkward but we made it through it. We invited them to our noche de hogar and they were super excited!
We had the usual meetings and then went home to eat lunch. One of our poor ward missionaries who is prepping for a mission got his wisdom teeth out, so to be nice, we took some ice cream over to him. He was super excited for it. Afterwards, we went to Zambiza to visit Stephany and Joselyn. They have just been so busy with school that we haven´t been able to visit them. Then we went to Nayon where the family Añapa was waiting for us. They had a blast at the noche de hogar and were super excited for us to visit them the next day.
We went to go find a family that went inactive and finally found them! Afterwards, we visited another less active and then went to Nayon. The family Añapa is doing so good. They are not quite ready to accept a baptismal date but were really excited to go to church on Sunday.
We got told by a Hna. Santa Cruz that we should probably stop visiting her husband for a little bit because he is annoyed of us... Oh well, he will come around one day. We visited Victor with the zone leaders because they asked if they could visit someone with us to see if they could help us. Victor was sick and received a Priesthood blessing. His wife also received one. It was a pretty awesome experience and Victor received the promise that if he kept trying to live the commandments, he would receive his answer. Ya mismo, he will get baptized!! With faith! After the visit, we went to the women´s general session where they talked a ton about service and loving one another. It was not quite the same in Spanish but still really good.
Happy Easter!!! I got to celebrate it by bringing the family Añapa to church! Everyone thought they were members because they looked so comfortable. Score! Ya mismo they will get baptized! After church, we went to the Luster´s home for lunch and made chocolate eggs. We then stopped by the Cruz´s home (they are leaving soon to go back to the states 😥) and learned how to make brigadeiros (Brazilian fudge). It was a fun way to spend easter.
That´s pretty much it for this week. We found mold in our house, so the owner has to come fix it. This house by the time we are done will be as good as new! (And of course I will be gone by the time we don´t have to do anything... oh well!). Have an amazing week and I hope to hear from y´all soon!
I wanted to share this video earlier but I forgot. Easter is the time to remember that Christ lives! He is the Prince of Peace! I am so grateful that I have this time to share this wonderful message with the peopel here in Ecuador! Here is the website for the super good easter video of this year! He lives!

Week 36 Pictures
Week 36 You know you are a horticulture major when...
Hey friends and family!Tuesday
This week was another exhausting week for us here in the good ol´ Éden! We have been working on trying to find as many new investigators as we possibly can and this week, we reached our goal of contacting over 100 people! I was pretty dang proud of us because I had never done it before in the mission. I guess I was just being lazy...
This week was another exhausting week for us here in the good ol´ Éden! We have been working on trying to find as many new investigators as we possibly can and this week, we reached our goal of contacting over 100 people! I was pretty dang proud of us because I had never done it before in the mission. I guess I was just being lazy...
In the words of Hermana Thomas, "Oh my gosh we lived through an earthquake... Why are you being so casual about this??" Yeah, we had a tiny earthquake and it was a little sketchy living on the third floor of the building but hey, we survived (BOOM! I have lived through another earthquake...). I ended up doing divisions with Hna. Dorta and it was a ton of fun. We had to shimmy past a truck to get to lunch and Hna. Dorta was not too excited about that. We found a few menos activo kids while trying to contact a reference. It was awesome! We found tons of families all living down this tiny alley way (it was a little scary... but awesome!).
We did the switch back and Hna. Thomas fell out of her chair while we were planning for the next week (picture below). It was so funny. Hna. Thomas is always doing something goobery and we are always dying of laughter. We pulled a total gringo moment and bought cotton candy.
Happy St. Patricks Day (I forgot to wear green...)! Happy birthday Caleb! Happy 1 year since my knee accident! I celebrated with brownies for my district. I look back through this past year and what I have accomplished since being told that it was not looking good for me to be in the mission. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father let me stay in the mission a little bit longer. I have learned so much and continue to learn every day! We did our weekly noche de hogar and we gave the message. We did my little activity about the armor of God. It was super funny because we brought clothes and made a girl put them on.
We have been completely redoing our area book and I am exhausted! We did over 200 copies to fix up records that were in the area book. Thankfully, it only costed $6! We tried to visit a bunch of people but no one was really home. It was a little bit of a discouraging day. The one good thing about the day was a girl named Alison gave me a bonzai tree! I was pretty darn excited about that little tree!
I went on an ice cream date!... With my companion! ;) Hahaha It was a little bit more of a rough day because our awesome ward mission leader told us that he was not going to be in our ward anymore because he was going to be getting married next week. It was a bit of a downer because I really like working with him. We decided to cheer us up with ice cream! Afterwards we tried finding more people and saw very little success. We went to chat with Hno. Lopez to see who he could suggest. We asked and asked for references but he said he did not have a single one. Finally, with a little persistence, two young men came into his restaurant and began eating. He told us we should talk to them. Come to find out, they had a brother recently pass away. He introduced us and we began talking. They were really excited to listen to our message about the Plan of Salvation and we have an appointment later this week with them!
We did the usual running around to get things done for church. Afterwards, we had lunch and they dropped us off in Nayon. We taught the mom of the two less actives and she now has a baptismal date! Then we went and found a super awesome couple named Mikal and Nelly. They are so excited to learn more about how to have an eternal family! We also went and visited Mayra who will be completing her 1 year as a member and she is super pumped to be sealed in the temple to her husband!
It was a little bit of a rough week but we ended on a really good note! I hope you all have an awesome week and cannot wait to hear about your adventures!Until next time,

Week 35 I an exhausted! (Says every missionary)
Hey friends and family!
What a week! Our house got fixed (and something else broke), our bishopric got switched out, we have been visiting a lot of the members of ward council, and we have been doing a complete turnover of our sector! Oh and lots of paperwork! :P
What a week! Our house got fixed (and something else broke), our bishopric got switched out, we have been visiting a lot of the members of ward council, and we have been doing a complete turnover of our sector! Oh and lots of paperwork! :P
We had an hermano come to our house to fix several things. He cleaned all the drains in the house and tightened up our sink. Right as he was leaving, our sink started leaking again so he told us that he would come another day to fix it. We have been struggling with one of our investigators who has a drinking problem. He has been coming to church for the past 4 months (which is probably the hardest things to get investigators to do) and had accepted baptismal dates in the past. We have been talking with members to help get him on track because he wants to be baptized, he just can´t until he gets this problem taken care of.
We started off the day with getting our house checked by the hermana leaders to make sure it was clean. As they were leaving, Hno. Mullo came to fix the sink. As soon as he got started, he had to stop because he didn´t have the parts and told us that he would come back the next day to get our sink fixed. We had lunch with the young women´s president and talked about how we could help her in her calling. Later in the evening, we had an awesome appointment with David and Paula with a couple that is getting married next month. David told us that he would never pray with us and that they had no desires to get married. After this appointment, he told us that they wanted to get baptized and wanted to get married!! It was a good way to end the night.
Hno. Mullo came back and the sink finally got fixed. We found a few new people to teach and visited some less actives. Afterwards, we took our investigator to our weekly noche de hogar. It was a simple but fun one this week. When we got home and tried turning on the lights, they didn´t work! Now we have to wait to get the lights in our study room fixed! The house is falling apart! ;) Well... Missionaries have lived in it for more than 20 years...
We always seem to eat breakfast burritos with one of my zone leaders... We ate them out in the coast and now here in Quito... He really likes his breakfast burritos... Anyways, I got a priesthood blessing because I have been sick and my voice has been going in and out (Hna. Thomas was afraid that she would have to do all the talking but I have managed to keep my voice for the most part). We did an activity for our zone meeting where we had to carry our companions on our backs and try to shoot a basketball. It was a pretty hilarious sight. The evening was a little sad because we had a few investigators tell us that they did not want us to come around anymore and listened to a less active tell us about all of the problems that had happened within the short amount of time that we had not been visiting her. It was a pretty rough night but hey, everyone has their time and their challenges.
We visited F. Santa Cruz and they are doing awesome as always. Unfortunately, they were all running around like chickens with their heads cut off so we could not actually teach them. We visited with F. Lopez and I peeled potatoes while Hna. Thomas washed dishes. Hna. Lopez was afraid the whole time that I was going to cut myself (not that that has happened before... ;) ). We contacted a lady in the park who always wanted to practice her English with a foreigner but never had the chance. The only problem was that she did not have any real interest in listening to us. We left Nayon and headed to the church to have a meeting with the ward leaders. Little by little, this ward is becoming a stronger and better ward. We went and visited Stephany afterwards and she is doing super good! She loves reading her Book of Mormon. Her mom told us that she now has a little notebook to write about what she reads. She´s 10! It is so awesome!
We spent all of church running around, filling out paperwork and figuring out our sector limits. We were a little puzzled as to why the whole stake presidency was here and come to find out, they released our bishop. He had a lot of health problems and could not function as a bishop. We visited a bunch of the members and started sorting through a bunch of old investigators to find new people to teach.
For our Pday, we went to a toy store, grocery shopping, and ran to the offices to get a couple of things and drop off a couple of things. Let´s just say I am super exhausted and Pdays are never really relaxing but Hna. Thomas and I have made the goal that next week, we are just going to relax. We just have to make it to next Monday... ;) Hey hope you all have a great week and hope to hear from you soon!

Week 34 Glad my daddy taught me how to use a wrench
Hey friends and family!
This week was an up and down kind of week and we also had transfers! Hna. Rojas went to Calderon and I received Hna. Thomas as my new companion. It has been a while since I have been with a gringa companion and it is pretty funny because we speak in Spanglish all the time. She went to BYUI too so I have another BYUI peep! How cool is that!
We were dealing with Hna. Rojas´s stomach problems all this transfer and we got sent to the clinic again. We waited an hour and a half for nothing. We took Hno. Carlos with us to do visits so that he could make friends with our less active, Luis, and it went fairly well. We are hoping that the more friendships he has the more he will want to come to church. After Luis, we went contacting and found a lady named Flor. She is super awesome but super confused about religions. We talked to her and she said that we can come back to visit her.
We went to the clinic yet again and finally got an answer! Hna. Rojas has giardia... How? I do not know... It is a very good question... After the clinic we contacted a reference for a less active from another less active that we are visiting and she is a super cute girl from Otavalo. She straight up told us that she wants to change and to come back to church but that she needs help. That´s what we are here for! We set an appointment for this week. On our way to visiting Joselyn, we found her recently reactivated sister. On Sunday she had asked us to talk to her kids about obedience and she told us that they are behaving so much better! She said that she came home from work and they were cleaning the house. It was super cute.
Today was a busy, busy day. We have had problems with fleas in the house for the past few months and I finally had had it! We began to deep clean the house before our meetings, took apart an extra bed in the house, take all of our sheets to a laundry mat to have them cleaned, and buy tons of spray to kill the fleas! I was exhausted by the time we finished and the day had only begun! It was kind of funny because on our way back from our meetings, I contacted a lady who made comments about my legs having all these bugs bites. She told me that if I drank this special coffee, my bugs bites would heal... Nope! You can´t get me to drink coffee! We had our weekly noche de hogar and the hermano that gave the message was hilarious! He says "chuta" (shoot!) every other word and withing 20 minutes, he had said "chuta" 59 times (yes I counted...).
I had to go to the clinic to verify that I did not have giardia. I am parasite clean which is really ironic because Hna. Rojas and I ate the same things and I was in the coast. Nothing makes sense... We have been teaching a guy by the name of Jorge and he always has the most random questions. Tonight his question was what what the exact date of Christ´s birth? We told him that he really should focus more on the things that will bring him happiness. He´s a funny guy.
We did visits with Hno. Kevin, a future missionary, and the poor guy doesn´t like eating and we got a lot of food. He ended puking on the side of the road for a little bit (We checked, he´s doing better today). The other hermanas in the ward had a baptism, so we went to that and then had our weekly meeting with our ward mission leader. It was a pretty laid back Thursday.
Transfers! Hna. Rojas really did not want to go but we all knew she was going. We had lunch with our mamitas and visited a few people. We were so exhausted from this week that we got home, Hna. Rojas quickly packed, and we hit the pillow hard!
I hope you all have a great week! Keep me updated on your lives!
PS From Megan's Mom: I suspect that when did Megan extensive cleaning that she took apart and reassembled the beds in her apartment using a wrench or when she took apart the extra bed in their apartment.

- A disease characterised by abnormal sinus node functioning with resultant bradycardia and cardiac insufficiency.
- May be multi-factorial in origin.
- Causes can be considered either intrinsic or extrinsic.
- Idiopathic Degenerative Fibrosis (commonest).
- Ischaemia.
- Cardiomyopathies.
- Infiltrative Diseases e.g. sarcoidosis, haemochromatosis.
- Congenital abnormalities.
Extrinsic Causes
- Drugs e.g. digoxin, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers.
- Autonomic dysfunction.
- Hypothyroidism.
- Electrolyte abnormalitites — e.g. hyperkalaemia.
ECG in Sinus Node Dysfunction
- Sinus Bradycardia.
- Sinus Arrhythmia — associated with sinus node dysfunction in the elderly in the absence of respiratory pattern association.
- Sinoatrial Exit Block.
- Sinus Arrest — pause > 3 seconds.
- Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response.
- Bradycardia – tachycardia syndrome.
Bradycardia – tachycardia syndrome
- Alternating bradycardia with paroxysmal tachycardia, often supraventricular in origin.
- On cessation of tachyarrhythmia may be a period of delayed sinus recovery e.g. sinus pause or exit block.
- If significant this period of delayed recovery may result in syncope.
Clinical Manifestations
- Commonly seen in the elderly but sinus node dysfunction can affect all age groups.
- Symptoms are due to decreased cardiac output and end-organ hypoperfusion associated with cardiac rhythm abnormality.
- Wide range of clinical symptoms including syncope, near-syncope, dizziness, fatigue and palpitations.
- Correction / removal of extrinsic causes e.g. non-essential drugs.
- Pacemaker insertion – requires correlation of both ECG abnormalities and clinical symptoms.
Recommendation for Pacing in Sinus Node Dysfunction
- Sinus node dysfunction with documented symptomatic bradycardia, including frequent sinus pauses that produce symptoms. In some patients, bradycardia is iatrogenic and will occur as a consequence of essential long-term drug therapy of a type and dose for which there are no acceptable alternatives.
- Symptomatic chronotropic incompetence.
Class IIa – Conflicting evidence/ divergence of opinion but weight of evidence / opinion in favour
- Sinus node dysfunction occurring spontaneously or as a result of necessary drug therapy, with heart rate less than 40 bpm when a clear association between significant symptoms consistent with bradycardia and the actual presence of bradycardia has not been documented.
- Syncope of unexplained origin when major abnormalities of sinus node function are discovered or provoked in electrophysiological studies.
Class IIb – Conflicting evidence/divergence of opinion where usefulness / efficacy is less well established
- In minimally symptomatic patients, chronic heart rate less than 40 bpm while awake.
Class III – Permanent pacing is not useful/effective and in some cases may be harmful.
- Sinus node dysfunction in asymptomatic patients, including those in whom substantial sinus bradycardia (heart rate less than 40 bpm) is a consequence of long-term drug treatment.
- Sinus node dysfunction in patients with symptoms suggestive of bradycardia that are clearly documented as not associated with a slow heart rate.
- Sinus node dysfunction with symptomatic bradycardia due to nonessential drug therapy.
ECG Examples
Example 1: Sinus arrest
Example 2: Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome
Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome:
- Runs of tachycardia interspersed with long sinus pauses (up to 6 seconds).
- The sinus rate is extremely slow, varying from 40 bpm down to around 10 bpm in places.
- Sinus beats are followed by paroxysms of junctional tachycardia at around 140 bpm.

Widely-read left media site Crooks & Liars has had a bizarre but predictably dishonest response to the horrific story of a Dallas family that allegedly assaulted a teenage relative for hours in order to force an abortion, before burning the stillborn baby on a charcoal grill and throwing it away in a plastic bag.
Crooks & Liars actually blames pro-life Republicans.
This crime was profoundly disturbing. As Breitbart Texas wrote last week, after a teenage girl was raped by a relative, other family members were concerned that if police found out about the rape, it could trigger a Child Protective Services investigation:
Police said when the family members decided to force the abortion on the victim, Sharon Jones gave her a variety of drugs including birth control pills and Plan B contraceptives. Then authorities allege Cecila McDonald held the victim down while her husband sat on the victim's abdomen while "repeatedly bouncing up and down." Police say Sharon Jones told the agonized victim to "shut up" and that the attack didn't stop until the girl was bleeding heavily.
After the girl gave birth to a stillborn baby, the police say the family attempted to unsuccessfully burn the baby on a charcoal grill. When that desecration failed, Sharon Jones allegedly paid her son Cedric $25 to dispose of the baby in a plastic bag.
Crooks and Liars writer Karoli wrote a piece called "We'll See More Tragedies Like This, Thanks To The Forced-Birth Crowd." The entire premise of her article is factually untrue: she claims that the victim couldn't get a legal abortion in Dallas, so the family was forced to give her a forced abortion.
In fact, there are several legal options in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for anyone wanting to pay for abortion services.
The article begins:
Thanks to those forced-birth rules the Texas legislature adopted last year, almost all of the clinics providing safe abortions in Texas have closed. That was, of course, the goal. But victories like that come with tragic (and fully intended) consequences.
Then Karoli goes into some details of the gruesome crime, before concluding that pro-life Texans should be criminally charged as well as the actual barbaric criminals.
She could have had an abortion if we lived in a civilized society where a girl who is raped by a relative had a safe haven to go and be taken care of. Instead, she was tossed to the same wolves who raped her in the first place.
Thanks for that, Texas. While you're filing charges, perhaps you could file some on yourselves, too.
However, Karoli's claim that the Dallas victim didn't live in a "civilized society" and didn't have a "safe haven" to get an abortion is quickly proven false by basic fact-checking.
Even after the controversial recent court ruling that will shutter many abortion clinics, right now there are three abortion clinics in Dallas-Fort Worth, according to an article this week in the Dallas Morning-News.
Aside from Planned Parenthood in Dallas and Fort Worth, there is the Southwestern Women's Surgery Center, which bills itself as "The Only Licensed Ambulatory Surgical Care Facility In North Texas Providing Abortion Services To 22 Weeks."
The clinic describes its service this way:
Abortion and pregnancy options services are an integral part of total healthcare. We take pride in offering the best quality abortion care, accompanied by an attitude of warmth and respect. (…) We are here to serve you. Southwestern Women's Surgery Center (SWSC), opened as a licensed ambulatory surgical center in October of 2009. Formerly the Fairmount Center, the clinic was founded in 1973 by Dr. Curtis Boyd as the first facility in Texas to provide high quality, low cost outpatient abortions. The center's new licensure allows us to provide abortion services through 24 weeks of pregnancy. We are the only clinic in North Texas providing abortion care after 16 gestational weeks.
The Dallas clinic accepts Master Card, Visa, Amex, and Discover.
The Dallas clinic boasts about being able to perform abortions up to 24 weeks, which evidently is not late enough for some. Although third-trimester abortions aren't available in Dallas, Southwestern has a sister facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico that will accommodate abortions past 28 weeks:
For women over the 28th menstrual week, BPD 7.0 and greater, we provide services on a case-by-case basis. The process is the same as above. Because each case is unique, we ask that women with fetal or maternal indications call our office for a phone evaluation. We will help if we can.
To put that in context, this article for expectant mothers by Dr. Adam Shoman on Pregnany Corner explains a baby's development at 28 weeks:
At 16 inches long and weighing close to four pounds, your baby is continuing to grow at a steady pace. For the last few weeks, the growth has seemed to slow down, but from this week on your baby's growth will start to pick up speed again. You may notice in the ultrasound images that he or she is looking plump. This is due to the fat that continues to build under the skin. The eyes have opened, and the eyebrows and eyelids are fully formed, and even the eyelashes are now visible.
The inabilty to legally end human life at that stage of development in the state of Texas is infuriating to liberal abortion advocates.
Whatever one's opinion on abortion, it's telling that the defenders of abortion feel the need to evade basic facts. The victim could have gotten a legal abortion in Dallas. Instead of that option, or letting the baby be born, a group of alleged criminals tortured a girl and killed a viable baby.
That's not the fault of people who are trying to protect human life.

Oops, sorry.
Let's see if this works.....read at your own peril.
Raycom News Operations Safety Update
By November 24th of 2008, a new OSHA regulation impacting reporters and photographers will become effective. ALL media representatives covering incidents along all major highways and roadways will need to wear an ANSI 107 Class 2 Reflective Safety Vest (see insert). To meet the standard, the vest requires at least 775 square inches of background fluorescent material. These vests are relatively inexpensive and generally are available for under $20. They can be purchased from various vendors including www.safetyvests.com, www.uline.com and www.galls.com. Various options exist and should be selected based upon your station needs. Just be sure that it is stated on a tag on the vest that it meets the ANSI Class 2 requirements.
The following summarizes what actions are required under the new regulation and includes reminders for safe news vehicle operations.
Safety Equipment in Company Vehicles
At least two ANSI Class 2 OSHA compliant safety vests should be carried in news vehicles at all times. Reporters, Photographers and Live Truck Operators are required to wear them when working near expressways, freeways and heavy traffic roadways. Mandatory compliance with this OSHA regulation is required by November 24, 2008, and traffic citations may be issued by law enforcement personnel if safety vests are not worn while working outside of the vehicle. The employee may be responsible for payment of these fines, as determined by management, if the employee does not comply.
It is also always desirable to have a Basic First Aid Kit, a Fire Extinguisher capable of extinguishing A, B and C type fire, road flares or reflective triangles and or a flashing yellow caution light as a basic set of safety equipment in any vehicle.
Parking of Company Vehicles on Expressways/Freeways
Live trucks and company vehicles should never be parked on or directly beside expressways, freeways and heavy traffic roadways, or on overpasses without prior approval of law enforcement personnel and then only when the vehicle is well off the road and well away from any possible road associated danger.
If you are working at the scene of a vehicular accident, always park your vehicle within the perimeter of the emergency vehicles and well away from the roadside. In this particular case make sure you coordinate the vehicle's parked location with the law enforcement officer in charge.
Shooting an incident in a heavy traffic area
Never cross a busy roadway on foot to get a shot. Always make sure you and the person who is with you has on the required safety vest. Always be aware of your surroundings, watch out for traffic. When shooting beside the road, make sure someone perhaps law enforcement or emergency personnel is with you to aid in your peripheral vision. Many photographers and reporters have been injured when blindsided by oncoming traffic.
Lighting of Live Shots Near Heavy Traffic Areas
Never point your lights directly into oncoming traffic. This may be a ticketed offense in some states. Use barn doors, soft box or diffusers to soften the possibility of pointing blinding light at oncoming traffic. Lights can also be angled away from the roadside.
General Live Truck Operation
In addition to Company and Station policies in this regard posted here in the News section of our Intranet Site, please keep in mind the following reminders.
- During an electrical storm, NO live shot is safe. Not even with the mast down.
- Crews in the field have the primary responsibility to determine if a live shot is safe. If there is a difference of opinion with the station or others in this regard, news management should be consulted immediately.
Working in Crowds
If a crew feels a physical threat to their personal safety, they must use their best judgment as to continuing or terminating the shoot. They should immediately notify the station of these circumstances as well as their intentions.
Aircraft Safety
The pilot always has the primary responsibility to determine safe operating conditions. If there is disagreement in this regard, news management should be immediately consulted before flight operations begin. Every Photographer/Reporter should be given safety procedures to follow while on the ground and in the air by the Pilot in Command of the aircraft. Any employee who does not wish to fly should notify news management if they are not comfortable in doing so.
If possible a position of the aircraft should be relayed to the assignment desk at a minimum of fifteen minute intervals. Radio contact at the point of takeoff and another at landing is required and if two-way communication is not possible, station management should be notified before take off. Any safety concerns involving the aircraft, flying or the pilot should be brought to the immediate attention of news management.
Additional Items to Consider:
• If a vehicle breaks down locally or out of town, work with station management to determine where to repair the vehicle. If a crew is out of town and the vehicle breaks down you might consider using this website to find information about repair shops and mobile tire repair. www.truckdown.com.
• As an alternative to the Metro Maps equipped in many vehicles, mobile G.P.S. units are something to consider for ENG & Sat trucks. They are becoming less expensive and can save time in transit.

Since told to do so by my N.D. i have had several reporters ask me if they have to wear the vest, to which i say YES IT IS LAW. They put up a fight, but i in the end they do it. They say they look silly wearing it. And yes, they might, but it is the law.
It is the law, and I believe it's the law for law enforcement officers as well. Still seeing a lot of them working scenes without the vest, but, who's gonna cite them, right?
That true. many troopers fail to wear them. But at least here in my area they wont say much if you dont have yours on either. or at least thats what i have run into so far. But i still wear mine.
Once had a state trooper run me off of an accident scene. No victims left, just cars, and his hatred of the press. He put me behind a fire truck (100 feet away) yet left the bystanders in place. His exact words? "Because they don't have a damn camera."
The adjacent property owner, who had also walked out to watch it, and he even ordered me off her land. Even brought over two city cops and told me I had two choices, go behind the fire truck, or go to jail. Not wanting to spend all day Sunday in jail, I went behind the fire truck.
He then had the city cop come put up ONE piece of yellow tape, blocking me. So I got a shot showing the scene tape, the wreck beyond it, and the bystanders surrounding it, which, by that time, included a guy in a bathrobe and some woman with her kids.
Not wanting to give him a chance to say, "I woulda let him up but he left," I stayed right there until the last tow truck left, then left myself.
Next morning at 9am, my boss was on the phone with his post commander, who actually tried (for a minute) to take his side. A quick phone call to GSP headquarters in Atlanta, and we got apologies, and a promise that this would never happen again, within 10 minutes.
I know, I could have made more of a stink, probably even have gone to jail and sued them, but I work around these guys every day, and just decided that it wasn't worth it, as long as he learned what not to do, which he did.
every cop is different and that can go from day to day or within a scene...i work 3rd shift so i do a ton of accidents on the highways and honestly, within on accident scene i go these repsonses "yeah, go right, whatever you need" "i don't care what you do" "who the hell do you think you are, get the hell out of here" "relax, he's fine, come on up, what do you need?" it just varies...and with the State Police in my state it varies by troop, one troop told me i had no right to park on the highway (at a non fatal m'cycle ax), followed by a fatal with ejection where a trooper told me i was fine, walked me by the body and said "just don't step on the body"...it's maddening, but it's part of the job..and i agree and this is good advice to newbies, know what to fight for and what not to fight for...the other 2 stations in town, when we show up we explain that we'll stay out of their way, we only want about 5 minutes of their time and we 90% of the time, get what we need...be kind, don't throw a **** fit, it won't do you any good
I filmed the aftermath of a fatal water ski accident (skier v tree) from the riverbank. A house owner (turns out is a local crim) complained to the cops I was on his property, and so the plods came over. I just said I was on public land, as the home owner can only own to the high water mark. I was true and correct in that assumption, and while plod went off to the frenzied crim, I got the money shots. When he came back, I just thanked him for his time, shook his hand and went on my merry way.
I then drove across the river, which is across the state line, and did some shots from there, and the crim was still upset... but I was also interstate...
The bureau ran it as their lead story that night....
Do unto others...

Having grown up in a town with dirty cops who would do things like break your tail-light and then give you a ticket for it, it's one of the most difficult things in the world to put up with some of the stuff that they (some of them, that is) do at scenes, but sometimes you just need to take a breath and try to be nice. Life is so much easier for everyone when we get along with them and they get along with us.
And no, don't give them your tape OR your camera. I'll go to jail over that any day.
"If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly!!"
I know a former Northern Territory cop whose nickname is FIGJAM, for obvious reasons who once bragged how he was going to confiscate a camera... I asked him the inevitable question, did he arrest the camera operator .. and what was he going to do with the tape. and WHY?
He mentioned he wanted to confiscate the tape so he could play it back at the station to see if there was anything he could use in his investigation.
He abandoned these plans once he was made aware that the nearest (digi beta) tape deck was 500km away in Darwin. I asked him had he considered ASKING the station for a copy of the vision? The answer was no..
Turns out he was just doing things to BE an A-Hole. No he didnt arrest the camera operator because he had not broken any law, neither did he confiscate the camera, because he was not allowed to by law... and he was being filmed at the time.
Seems he has quite a few employers on his CV....
Do unto others...
had one last night...MVA into a pole, fully involved, 1 party deceased...road blocked at one end, very friendly cop, went to the other side of the scene (since when has "road closed" meant we don't try for the other half of the scene??), plenty of access, cruiser (no cop in it), NO TAPE, nothing...myself and a competing station walk up, stand in full view of all law enforcement, tastefully shoot the scene, no closeups (body still in the vehicle), grab a few minutes of tape, a state trooper chats us up, makes some small talk, then the local Sargent comes over and delivers the "i order you to stop shooting..put your cameras down, you can shoot later, but you are not to shoot any video until i tell you it's ok"...blah blah blah..a little ass kiss, a few yes sirs, i understand sir, we never use the body body, yada yada yada, we leave...amazing...just put up tape if you want to close the scene...it's not very hard
SOP I have used for YEARS is to ALWAYS leave my front tally light on. This allows me to go "covert" or appear "off-air" by simply switching it off, while continuing to record. When they get so used to seeing it lit, they assume it is a standard function of the camera, like breathing is a standard function of a living human. Just don't hold your breath too long around a Grizzly Bear or you may suffocate.

I find Brazilian Portuguese to be so unique and different from any other language, even other romance languages (and for all those who think that Portuguese is the same as Spanish, well, you need to have your head examined!). Here are some of the reasons why I love this language more than any other:
1) Its beautiful melodic, singing sound.
Picture the most beautiful song you have ever heard. That's what I hear each time I listen to Brazilian Portuguese. To say that Brazilian Portuguese is music to my ears is no exaggeration…don't believe me? Take a look at this video and you will see what I mean…
2) how "a gente" (direct translation: "the people") means "we"
Example: A gente vai marcar uma parada a semana que vem? (Are we going to do something next week?)
3) the way that Brazilians use "no" multiple times in a negative sentence
Example: Eu não me importa dessas coisas, não (I don't care about those things)
4) the unique way that Brazilians say "yes"
5) the many palavrões (swear words).
No other language (that I have studied at least) seems to match up. Portuguese swear words are just the best – they are strong and there are so many of them!
6) The way that you can add "inho/inha" to any adjective or noun
The use of "inho/inha" in Portuguese means that something is smaller or cuter. For example, you can say fofo (which means "cute") or fofinho (which means "very cute"). It can also add a likeness to the word, meaning that that thing means something to you and there is some relationship there. For instance, one could say casa (which means "house") or casinha (which means "small house" or adds an affinity to the word).
7) How the word "dar" can be used with pretty much anything.
8) The way that "beautiful" is used.
Beleza is the word for "beautiful" in Portuguese. Brazilians will use this word to ask someone how they are doing. For instance, one might say to another, "Beleza?" (Like "Tudo bem?" this means "Is everything good?"). The person can also respond "Beleza" ("Everything's great.")
9) The word "saudade," for which there is no translation in English.
10) The use of falar (to speak)
I love the way that Brazilians use this word. When speaking with someone new for instance, if the other person wants to know more about you, they might say "Me fala" ("Speak to me"). When answering the phone, if the receiver knows who is calling, he or she might say something like"Fala comigo, Mary" ("Speak to me, Mary"). When you want to say "What's up?" to someone, one might say "Fala aì!" (literally translated to "Speak there!").
I could go on and on…but I will restrain myself and leave it at that. So tell me…what do you like about Brazilian Portuguese?

Eight Elements of Beowulf
Supernatural Abilities that make Beowulf a Hero
In the beginning of the story, Beowulf hears of Hrothgars troubles with Grendel and leaves Geatland to help the king(IV lines 16-37). He arrives and assures the king he has the strength of thirty men(VII line 9). When Grendel comes and attacks the palace, Beowulf rips the monsters arm off proving how powerful he really is(XII line 35). Also, when Beowulf seeks Grendel's mother, he does not let monster invested water defeat him. He eventually kills the beast(XXII line 42)
The Quest
Beowulf is granted permission to leave Geatland and help the Danes defeat the monster(IV lines 16-37). The Danish guards stop the Geats when they reach the land and demand to know their purpose of being there. Beowulf informs the guards that he has traveled there to help them defeat the monster and the guard immediately take him and his men to King Hrothgar(V lines 33-34)
Unferth tries to make Beowulf look a fool by telling Hrothgar that he fought against Breca and did not defeat him(IX lines 1-32). He tried to make Beowulf look weak to the Danes but did not succeed because of Beowulf's retaliation. In lines 43-45, Beowulf states that Breca
not defeat him and Beowulf
not defeat Breca. After the argument, cheers came to the room and that was the end of the dispute.
A hero put to the test.
A Helping Hand and Friend
When it came down to who was by Beowulf side until the end, Wiglaf is the only person that stuck by him. Beowulf last words were spoken to Wiglaf(XXXVIII lines 50-55). Even though Beowulf's people did not protect him, he still said he needed to look after Geatland in his barrow.
Almost Giving Up
When Beowulf goes after Grendel's mother, his trip comes to a stop when they reach the water which is swarming with monsters(XXII line 42). Back at the palace, the people were watching from afar and seeing the blood made them think that Beowulf was no longer alive(XXIV line 41). They later found out that all of the monsters at been persecuted.
A Resurrection
When Beowulf fights his last battle against the fire spitting dragon, his last request was to build "Beowulf's Barrow" wear his body is burned. He requested a barrow so he could watch over his people in Geatland(XXXVIII lines 50-55). Wiglaf orders the men who did not stand behind Beowulf in battle to build his his barrow of the burning of his lifeless body(XLII lines 50-60).
The Hero's Travels to a Supernatural World
Beowulf starts off on his way(XXII line 19) to persecute Grendel's mother and when he reaches the water, it seems like no human could survive swimming in the water or going around it. It may not stop Beowulf but it sure would have stopped many other travelers.
The hero, Beowulf, would stop at nothing to protect his people of Geatland and that is what he did. He felt Heaven was punishing him for criminal acts but in actuality, Heaven gave his people a gift of a lifetime(XXXVIII lines 41-45). His body is burned and the warriors were weeping as the fire roared. In honor of the hero, the warriors payed their respects(XLI line 63). Wiglaf tells the warriors Beowulfs dying request of building a barrow and they did what they were told(XLIII 21-32).

Cover Image: "Love Locks in Paris"
by Dr. Áine M. Humble
"While vacationing in Paris in June 2011, I was intrigued by a custom called 'Love Locks,' in which sweethearts affix a lock to a bridge as a sign of their everlasting love for their partner. Many of them write their names on the lock, and the key is either taken with them or thrown into the river, never to be retrieved again. As a feminist family studies scholar researching and teaching about relationship and family diversity, I searched the locks to find evidence of same-sex couples and easily found this lock celebrating Christine's love for her partner."

Lenny Huff has tumbled four stories, watched co-workers smash through plate- glass windows and been tossed 30 feet from the side of a building, all in a day`s work.
Huff, 48, is not a stunt man, high-wire walker or bouncer. He has washed windows for 31 years.
``Window cleaning isn`t a bad job,`` said Huff, an employee of Rainbow Services Inc., a West Palm Beach firm. ``I`ve never been laid off and I`ve never collected workers` comp.``
The Pittsburgh native dropped out of school at 17 and started washing windows ``because it looked like something I could do.``
He washed windows, managed a window-washing company and eventually started his own firm. He came to Palm Beach County two years ago for the climate.
Huff can be seen on scaffolding hanging from the sides of the Phillips Point building, the Holiday Inn, Good Samaritan Hospital, Boca Raton`s One Lincoln Place and the county Governmental Center and West Palm Beach City Hall.
The father of three had one of his closest calls while cleaning the windows of an oil supply center in Oil City, Pa., about 18 years ago.
At first, he had diligently cleared the ivy growing along the building, but grew tired of the tedious task and stepped on a ledge without clearing it.
Before he was able to hook his safety belt to a cable, Huff slipped on the ivy. The next thing he remembers is waking up four stories below, on the freshly plowed earth that he credits with cushioning his fall.

Joel McHale Remembers Working With The 'Amazing' Robin Williams
We got the chance to catch up with The Soup's host, Joel McHale, to find out everything from his recent projects to his experience working alongside Robin Williams — find out what Joel had to say!
Joel McHale, 42, opened up to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY about a new project he is very passionate about! He also let us know if he would ever consider leaving his hilarious show, The Soup! Find out what else Joel told us about working with the late and great, Robin Williams!
Joel McHale Remembers Working With Robin Williams In 'A Merry Friggin' Christmas'
"He was pretty amazing, one of the best acting experiences I have ever had. Personally, he became a friend and I love the man and he was really somebody that was a very special person and it was an honor to work with him. He was tremendous. He was professional and funny and sweet. In a perfect world, I would have loved to do another one with him," Joel told us about working with Robin in the film, A Merry Friggin' Christmas, which is set to release in November.
"He was just so damn supportive every time we did takes, I was like wow I feel like the best actor in the world, if he likes it, it must be good, he's Robin Williams! He was just really supportive and the for me, that was alone so wonderfully helpful," Joel continued.
Would Joel Ever Leave 'The Soup'?
"I don't know, if the earth was ending, and they said "you have to leave the soup and get on a space ship" then ya! But you know, I enjoy doing it. It's a once a week hang. We have a great time doing it and I just actually signed a new contract so I am very excited about it. I would yell back at the TV anyways so if someone is paying me for it then I'm thrilled," Joel told us when we asked him if he would ever stop doing The Soup.
If for some reason he were to leave the show, we asked Joel who he thought would be the best person to replace him. "Daniel Day Lewis, I think he would like to do that! Just kidding. Maybe Meryl Streep." What a jokester!
Joel's New Project
Along with acting in movies and hosting The Soup (Wednesdays, 10/9c, E!), Joel is also working with Canon to introduce their new Pixma Pro City Senses printer.
"I have always been an amateur photographer and then ever since I had kids, I started documenting their lives," Joel told us.
"This printer is amazing you wouldn't believe it, the technical terms to describe it are f**king amazing. When you print them out, it looks like something that would be hung in an art gallery. When I believe in a product and they want me to be a part of it, for me, it's a no brainer."

Bathroom Light Fixtures Ikea
Bathroom Light Fixtures Ikea – One of the rooms in the house is the bathroom. This is the spot where we spend some time daily to to get ready for school or work and to carry out other activities. That is even more accurate for bathrooms which are shared between family members: the larger the family, the more busy the bathroom becomes. Furthermore, various set-ups are necessitated by unique needs. When it comes to bathroom fixtures, it's crucial to consider various factors which can help you in picking the suitable set.
If you are on the market for a set of fixtures, you may start by identifying the three sorts of bathroom fixtures: shower baths, sinks and faucets, and toilets and bidets. Simply take the following suggestions into account during the process of choosing your fixtures.
Significance of identifying a budget. This is. A major purpose of identifying a budget is to permit you to concentrate on items which are cheap, which streamlines the selection process. Therefore, you can proceed by browsing. This not only keeps you from paying too much, additionally, it saves you time by inducing you look through fixtures to obtain an notion about what you are able to afford.
Determine theme or your favorite design. Setting a budget is a must that should be undertaken prior to choosing fixtures. Even though white is a conventional alternative for bathroom fixtures, modern design trends for different mixes and themes (vintage, modern, country, art deco, etc.). The look for faucets is hands-down the metallic end; such as toilets, showers and sink, there are numerous colors such as everything from black to cream, available on the marketplace. You might choose the romantic whirlpool bathtub over the more prevalent shower enclosures and accent the area around the bathtub with style wall candle holders and wall mounted vases full of greenery. Bear in mind that the elements don't have to be matched completely. Look at mixing distinct but complementary colors for the entire set. It it's an significant part your plan to match those fixtures, sink and bathtub and then take replacing everything at once, for example, showerhead faucet.
Take into account the number of users. The number of people must be taken under consideration as stated earlier. This will help you select that sink, shower, bathtub, and toilet may be more suitable. As an example, many people require multiple sinks, a shower enclosure instead of a clawfoot bathtub (that allows for faster showers), and toilets with more solid flushing power. Inversely, if the bathroom is located at the master bedroom alternatives for bathroom fixtures are without limits.

I've been lurking through this wiki for a time, and boy!, it really needs templates. I mean, for example, in the character pages, the box could be made a template, instead of copy-pasting the code in every character page. Aside from that, we could use a NavBox for pages that are in the same category, a Navbox for characters, another one for objects, places, etc.
What do you say?

WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission announced today that it has voted to begin an inquiry into "patent assertion entities," businesses whose only purpose is to stockpile patent portfolios and use them to sue business entities.
News of regulators getting involved in the issue over PAEs — also known as "patent trolls" — is good news for operators of online adult companies, who rely heavily on technology to deliver content.
In the past 10 years, scores of adult companies have been sued by PAEs over patent infringement claims relative to mobile media delivery technology, pop-under advertisements, live cam delivery, image-hosting technology and interactive online advertisements that use subscription models and data collection.
Other suits waged at adult companies bythe PAEs have involved technology with the ability for web browsers to act as platforms for embedded applications and a certain formula for sending compressed audio and video signals over a network.
The adult companies, of course, have collectively spent millions on legal fees defending against unfamiliar patent-holding companies like Skky Inc., ExitExchange Corp., Joao Control and Monitoring Systems, Tejas Research, Lodsys, Eolas Technologies and Acacia.
With the FTC getting involved, a lengthy and broad investigation is a certainty that could yield antitrust suits against companies.
FTC Chair Edith Ramirez noted earlier this year that she believed there is little real evidence about the costs and benefits of a rising tide of patent litigation.
By a 4-to-0 vote, the FTC agreed to seek public comments on an investigation of 25 companies that are in the business of buying and asserting patents. Another 15 also will be looked at.
After reviewing public comments, the FTC will seek to issue subpoenas to the patent trolls.
Ramirez said the Federal Trade Commission Act allows the agency to gather information about the financial operations of the companies, and it will seek to uncover how much they earn from patent lawsuits and licensing and how the profits are distributed to investors.
That information can form the basis of antitrust lawsuits, among other civil actions.

So, it's been a long day. Here's a song I'm really digging by a group I really like. I'll talk more about them later.
So, it's been a long day. Here's a song I'm really digging by a group I really like. I'll talk more about them later.
I've been struggling recently. I'm officially a Religious Studies major at Regis University, and it's really great, especially all of the theology that I get to read and struggle with. … Continue reading Theology , and other Stuff
Hey all, here's my show this this week, which I just got done with. What can I say, I love radio!
Here is the link to the article about the lady who found issue with the song "Norf Norf." It's great. There's a twelve minute rant.
Of course, if you want to see what else is going on at KRCX, this different colored text is a link to their website (krcx.org).
Also, listen to them live here! http://tunein.com/embed/player/s234171/Peace, y'all!
I feel fairly in love right now? With anyone specific? Not really? (Or maybe I'm lying and there is someone… Either way that's for me to know, until I feel like talking about it, okay?)
Here's some songs that are helping me dive into this feel of sudden, random love.
Adele's "One and Only"
Jason Mraz's "Beautiful Mess"
Lord Huron's "The Man Who Lives Forever"
Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark"
Bright Eye's "First Day of My Life"
Lupe Fiasco's "Sunshine"
Rodrigo Amarante's "Tuyo"
Honestly, there's more, but I think I should do a spotify playlist. That's what I'll post tomorrow, probably.
First thing's first: if my post yesterday left you with a sense of desolation/sadness/disdain, here's Nick's blog post/reflection on 2015. Again, he has a way with words/succinctness that I have yet to come close to mastering. He's also uplifting and joyful/hopeful in a way that I just can't be, right now. But his post made me feel a lot better, so, you know, there's that.
Anyways, it's officially 2016! First post of the new year! And what will I dedicate it to? That is a great question.
I have only one answer.
Sad, Mexican drinking songs about lost love and stuff.
Do I feel this way? No!… Maybe…
But I do love this song. And I can relate. Anyways, a version of this was actually featured in the the second season of Mozart in the Jungle, in a really beautiful montage. So for me it's both happy and sad.
Regardless, the song's title translates to, "For the whole year" (as in the speaker of the song is saying that you might as well give him all the drinks he would otherwise have for the entire rest of the year). Since it's the beginning of the year, I would like to think about the rest of the year. Maybe not how much I'm going to drink for the rest of year (probably not much, as my most consistent drink is communion wine, technically the blood of Christ).
Anyways, I was thinking about doing a cover of this song, but I seriously don't have it in a place where I could do it justice, both of my own performance, and what I have currently available to record such a cover. But maybe soon? While there's still plenty left in this new year (because I like how the name also refers to it's place in a time cycle, as well as deeper things).
So, tomorrow's post is going to be a playlist, curated by myself. But I need your help.
Send me music for the playlist! I have a list of songs and artists I want to use, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Commenting below would be a great example of a good way to drop me hints. Also, posting on my Facebook wall, as well as The Daily Jorge's Facebook wall, if we're not friends on Facebook.
What kind of music am I look for/what are the guidelines?
I want music that was released in 2015/was most popularized or recognized in 2015. So if it was released in late 2014, but really got noticed in 2015, send it my way. Besides that, it's fair game.
Want to send just one song? Go for it. An entire album? I might pick one or two songs off the album, but I'd appreciate the submission. If you have just an artist in mind, feel free to send me a song, as well. Oh, and if you'd like to say something about the artist/song/album, please do! Why you picked it, and important moments, anything about the artist or the work.. really anything!
I'll be compiling all of it, and putting it all into one big Spotify playlist for tomorrow, along with a curated overview of artists, albums, and songs selected.
To thank you in advance for your cooperation, here is a video.
As much as the Jesuits have educated me, and have influenced my way of thinking, and interacting with the world as a whole, it really wasn't until last year that I found a model within the Jesuits that I could really relate to.
I mean, yes, St. Ignatius' story of redemption, and then spiritual contemplativeness in action is a great "comeback story" of sorts, but I never trained as a soldier. I'm a farm boy. I also don't know much about mischief and women and being a gallant and courtier. The closest I come to that is a one off romance that hardly survived into college.
St. Francis Xavier was too bent on missionary work, and inculturation, which I can respect, I feel doesn't really fit my own missions and apostolates. No, I don't see myself traveling to India, then Japan, and then (trying to enter) China, all under different guises to relate to people, and then to begin preaching the Gospel. I do respect his attempt at preaching the Gospel in these ways, and I do see myself as a missionary in a strange culture more often than most would think, but something about his story still seems above me.
No, the great historic Jesuit I find my own story most related to isn't all that Historic. 100 years ago, he was still hardly a Novice, and his death was only 88 years ago today. The Jesuit I speak of is Blessed Fr. Miguel Agustín Pro, SJ.
His full name is José Ramón Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez. He was born in the state of Zacatecas, and he died in Mexico City. His story is beautiful, and I wish I could recount it all right now. But, it's not really my place to do what others have already done so well. So, here's one link to his Wikipedia article, here's another link, this time to his story (in short form), another short form, and a very, very long form, detailed version of his story.
Suffice to say, the Wikipedia article might be enough, but the second and third links are also good for just an overview, while you might want to check out the last one if you want what equates to a half hour read on the story of the priest.
I was drawn to Bl. Fr. Pro (or, as I'll refer to him in the rest of this blog, Fr. Pro) for a few reasons. Of course, he was a Jesuit, and my appreciation for the Jesuits is rather great. But he was Mexican Jesuit, sharing the same homeland as me, speaking a common tongue, joined together in very similar cultures, and both understanding the beauty and importance of the Most Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe.
But the more I looked at his story, the more I could relate to. Like my own father, he suffered stomach problems, his being ulcers, and my father's being a hernia. He also was referred to as Miguel, the same name as his father, just as me with mine. I also carry with me a childhood nickname, Chochi, and he carried his, Cocol.
He was an actor, a singer, a prankster, and a man of great humor and very personable soul. I… have acted, play many instruments and sing, enjoy life with plenty of humor, and I enjoy being able to relate to people.
But there was also another Pro, very serious, studious, and prayerful. People often get surprised at how well I jump between entertaining and being humorous, and being a serious, passionate, and prayerful person. I always praise myself for carrying both the light and the heavy in my arms.
I think that Fr. Pro found me, sometimes. And he found me through humor, and love of Mexico and my people, and my love of art and of serving, as he spent his last 15 months of life in Mexico as a priest, serving in anyway he could to his Mexican people, living now in a land where Catholicism was basically outlawed. He would pay the price of his life for caring so deeply.
In this compassionate person, I found myself drawn further and further into the person of Christ the King, whom Fr. Pro proclaimed with his final breath.
I guess Fr. Pro, through his intercession, and my asking him to pray for me, brought me closer to my faith, and continuously brings me closer to the person of Jesus.
But also, in a non-religious (but, in a very "AMDG" way, still very religious) way, he brought me closer to my fellow brothers and sisters, even those who don't share my faith. Fr. Pro forgave his executioners, and his enemies, and prayed for them before being murdered for an attempted assassination attempt on the former President of Mexico (at that point) of which he was innocent. He worked tirelessly to minister to his deprived Catholic brothers and sisters, the poor, and those in jail. He also prayed a lot, and worked to always do God's will. But he was still so humble!
I wish often to be like him, to work tirelessly for the greater good of all, and to remain humble in it.
I pray for his intercession, because I see him as an older brother.
Oh, and his name is Miguel. Miguel is also my brother's name.
I love my brother.
Thank you, older brother. And thank you, spiritual older brother.
