So Mom came back home bearing great news! You should have seen her face...
Three Mexican fishermen survived 9 months in the open sea... they were found close to Australia... just a few days ago... but they ALL survived! Can you imagine what a rough journey that was? they travelled across the Pacific Ocean, from Nayarit Mexico all the way to Taiwan in a small fishing boat... with no rations. they drank rain water and ate duck and fish. and they survived. for freakin 9 months!!
But they did have a Bible and their faith... and even their sense of humor :) ...which I have not been able to translate.. sorry... no word for "arrimarse" that would get the joke across...
Such great news... I love to hear about stories like this... I think we often forget that miracles still happen. Just imagine what amazing news this was for their families. They had probably already accepted their deaths... and then they had their brother, their husband, their dad.. come back to life! How happy I would be to see hope coming back ... God returning to me someone I love. hehe... how happy I'd be for God to return ME back to those I love..
So... for those who can read a part of the article:
Los pescadores fueron rescatados el 9 de agosto por un barco pesquero de Taiwán, declaró Eugene Muller, director de la compañía propietaria del pesquero taiwanés, con sede en la capital de las Islas Marshall, Majuro.
“Estaban flacos y hambrientos pero sanos”, explicó Muller al señalar que los mexicanos lograron sobrevivir en su embarcación capturando peces voladores y bebiendo agua de lluvia.
Muller identificó a los pescadores rescatados como Salvador Ordóñez Vásquez, Jesús Eduardo Vidaña López y Lucio Randon Bacerra.
“Comíamos gaviotas crudas, comíamos patos crudos, comíamos pescado. Comíamos todo crudo (...) pescado que se arrimaba, pescado que agarrábamos para comer”, relató Vidaña desde el barco pesquero que les rescató para explicar cómo lograron sobrevivir todo ese tiempo.
Por momentos tenían comida para dos o tres días seguidos y en otros no probaban bocado durante varias jornadas consecutivas.
“Nunca perdimos la esperanza porque arriba hay un Dios todopoderoso y tengo mucha fe en él y yo sabía que Él nos iba a ayudar”, dijo Vidaña.

That's just awesome!
Three Texans. Lost on a dear hunting trip into the wilds of Colorado.Their families worried ill by the faint news.
All discovered damaged in a bar in Pueblo. Their livers irreperably damaged by tequila shooters. Lost since June,they began to question why
everyone spoke english with no twang.
The discovery that they were only a two day drive noth of the Red River caused one Texan to go into convulsions from separation anxiety.
It is rumoured that they are now back safely in Highland Park where they are planning to buy Colorado and develope it into something flat and useful. You know..."W" style. Q's D
Excuuuse Me...I spent to long in Texas...."deer hunt", though to them it is dear.
See...."too long"
