September and October

Things got a little better when Gertrudis came home. She is now the general of a troop in the army! After working at a brothel, she enlisted in as a Revolutionary and became a general!!! It is an amazing achievement. I am so proud of her! Not many women are in the army, so being a troop leader is a huge accomplishment. I am glad my sister had this opportunity to be a general. Also, at war, she was reunited with her first live, Juan. They got married and are now very happy together. The war has done wonders for my sister. I am glad she is back home. When I told her about my problems, she told me that I should tell Pedro that I am pregnant and be with him, the one I really love, not John. I am glad she gave me that advice. Hearing someone that married her true love tell you to marry your true love because it will make you happy is very reassuring. Of course Gertrudis helped with telling Pedro about my pregnancy: as he walked in the room, she said to me that I should tell him that I was pregnant. Pedro was very happy, and that night he got drunk and sang to me by my window. Idiot! What if Rosaura heard him! Then Mama Elena decided to annoyingly pop into my life again. I told her that I hated her and her traditions, and she finally left forever! I was happy that she finally left; however, before she completely disappeared, she turned set Pedro on fire and burnt him! I went down to help him, but when Rosaura saw me with him, she realized that we were together and that Pedro loves me, and not her. My poor, dear Pedro got hurt so bad. When Mama Elena left me, I realized that I am not pregnant! That was a great relief, but not the end of my problems. Pedro is hurt, Rosaura will not speak to me, Gertrudis left, and John just came home. What am I going to do?! Gertrudis in the army: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3816/britsergeantkarentollad.jpg
