I got my results…


Well, today I got my results from last week’s test and today’s test. Reading: 92% at Level 12, so I passed! Math: 100% at level 12 also (Surprised me because I didn’t know how to divide fractions and I just guess the best answer), so passed too. Writing: 72% at level … 5 (Fifth grade), so I’ll start with the classes tomorrow focused on reading & writing because it is related. From this experience, I learned that one thing is to listen and understand, another is to speak but in order to write, you have to suck the culture in order to be able to express on paper. I remember my first trip to L.A. I was working for a production company and according to my understanding all people at LA, speak Spanish, true, except on the facility I visited… Not a single Spanish speaking people, even the janitor was Chinese… so I made my self understandable using signs and gestures, and a little English I learned from Middle School… and because I was a customer, they tried hard to understand me, so I stayed on the comfort zone, most of the people was able to understand me (or at least they open the eyes and gesture like they understood me).

After my exam, I came back home, I expend a little quality time sharing my experience with my daughters, I believe is important to share the vision of any new project with my family and helps me to create a strong relation with my wife and daughters, I also discuss the Flamingo’s Ethos that Troy give us two monts ago:

Thinking – Where am I thinking?
Diversity – Is there someone NOT like me?
Movement – Which direction am I going?
Potential – Is this the best that I can Do?
Enviroment – How does it make me feel?
Collaboration – Who am I doing life with?

I think this is something we can apply in our lives every day, not only at work or ministry. My older daughters decided to go to the Gym and start a routine not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, but today… so they went to the Gym and I went to the swimming pool with the little ones, to have a little relax time and exercise. I really love my family, I’m blessed with a great wife and four amazing girls.

Tomorrow I’ll start a Beta 2.0 test for the MyNaked Pastor system and I’ll be running the camera with me all the time with just few beta testers…

Do you want to be part of the Beta testers? Leave a comment and I will let you know what to do. Have a nice night!

The Carrasco's... A Little bit of history, Part III

I know just a little about my grand grand parents, but I have the names and a picture. Lucecita García Luna and Blas Carrasco, they had 19 kids… It's obvious there no was TV on that time. One of their sons, Eduardo Carrasco García Luna, married María Contreras Nuñez, who was daughter of Vicentita Nuñez and Teodoro Contreras. They had five kids: Natalia, Eduardo, Alicia Solveigh, Manuel and Lolita. My Grandpa Eduardo used to work for the city of Tlalnepantla and he was recognized because his honest service. He was also a talented self taught musician, he played piano, violin and other musical instruments. He was always a family man, and he died in the early 60’s. I barely remember when he past away. It is one of my first memories, and it was a painful process for the family. My grandma moved from Tlalnepantla to Mexico city to live close to his two sisters Margarita (Mago) and Linda. Grandma was a faithful woman. I remember her as a devoted Christian Catholic. She walked every day f

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it. I remember one of the first things I learned from my grandmother it was the value of my word. "A gentleman always fulfill his promises, a man with no word has no honor" and I learned to live by that principle. Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him... (He had a Mohawk haircut with
