My 12th birthday is coming up. We are going to move to Oregon around that time so the friends here are going to have a little celebration for Pam Nerple and I. We have the exact same birthdays. A strange coincedence. Today I went to the Orthodontist here for the last time. The first time that I went we brought Grandpa Lauro with us but he stayed in the car. Then, I met one of the helpers whose name was Rosie. She was from the town where Grandpa Lauro is from but I didn’t realize it at the time. I thought that that was interesting so I told Mom. She told me that Grandpa was from that town near Monterrey. Today I saw Rosie but I wasn’t able to ask her anything. She went up front where Mom was sitting and Mom asked her what her last name was and who her relatives were. It turned out that she was my Grandpa’s cousin by blood! Another strange coincedence.
We are going to miss Texas and the friends here very much. We are going day camping with the friends at the end of the week and to Special Meetings the week after that, so we will get to see them a little bit more before go. Before we know it we’ll be in Oregon. Of course we can’t wait to go, but we had a wonderful time here. We should definitely keep in touch.
