Mae, estoy en frente de una computadora, después de un día casi entero de trabajar y me topé con unas fotos tuyas en la Internet. Por supuesto ahora ya parezco un saco de mocos y se me hace la garganta para todo lado. Mae cuanto daría por hablar un rato con vos. Sobre la vida, sobre salir a correr o simplemente sobre darle futbolín…
El otro día hablé con Coky… y en efecto no se le pasa.
Voy a tratar de hablar un día de estos con tu mami, a ver como está… si quiere se la saludo…(HAHHA! )
Mae pórtese bien ahi en el cielo… y ore por mi con ganas please.

Conoci a Alex hace mucho tiempo, nunca una persona ha tenido tanto impacto en mi vida como el… Tanta entrega, tanta devocion, tanto desprendimiento de lo material, tanto Dios… Tanto Jesus!!! Conoci al verdadero Jesus a travez de Alex, me di cuenta de que no necesitaba muchas cosas de las que yo creia para ser feliz…
Todas los cristianos somos llamados a parecernos a Jesus en todo, pero aun asi fallamos cada dia y a cada minuto. Pero Alex es, fue y sera ejemplo para todos nosotros, su vida se perfilo con la del Maestro. Definitivamente un ejemplo para todos.
Te guardo dentro de mi corazon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pablo and I have honored you with pancakes lately. Your memory is one that makes us give thanks, fren. You not physically being around still seems surreal at times and as I looked back in my journal from these dates 2 years ago, I was praying for God to be glorified in and through you. I like to think that God’s glory was, and is, you walking towards Him and sometimes I think you’re surfing the clouds above in glory. You are missed Castro. ~McLane.

Hola Alepsis soy yo Pabliux. No sabés lo mucho que he pensado en vos ultimamente. Casi cumplo un año y medio de casado y estoy casi seguro que el causante de reencontrarme con Jeni fuiste vos. Gracias bro.
Alex. Cada vez que como pancakes me acuerdo de vos. Me acuerdo el día en que nos encontramos en San Pedro y andabas la camisa tuya que más me gustaba, la que decía “Jesus loves pancakes”. Te escribía este mensajito corto para decirte que te extraño y que solo verte en foto me parte el alma. Se que estás en todas, pero una llamadita de aquellas para hablar de la vida y de las checas en este momento no caería nada mal.
Finalmente te digo que allá en el cielo hay alguien con una camisa que dice: “Jesus loves Alex”.
Tu hermano Pabliux.

Alex’s birthday is coming up in the following weeks. Today was one of those days when you just hold still for a moment, and realize, your best friend is not around.
You try to go through all the emotions and also through all the thoughts about controlling your emotions. The bible says that before we finally unite with Christ, we will be raised in heaven and we will join the ones that have died before us. This gives me a lot of hope of seeing Alex again.
March is coming up and as some of you have noticed, a Young Life ex-leaders’ meeting is going to take place in Costa Rica; it is actually for all of those Moravianos. Check with Manolo for more details. I am sure that you would enjoy talking to your best friends from Moravia!

If you are asking yourself, why is Alex’s website now featuring Adsense read on. I know that Alex’s desire was to help the youth in Jaco and after noticing the increasing amount of searches being made for “alex castro” I have decided to monetize this site. The decision is based on Alex’s desires. All the money that we raise with his website’s Adsense will go towards the youth in Jaco.
If you are young and you live in Jaco, shoot us an email. We might consider you as part of the recipients of the donations.
Thanks
Alex Centeno.

Querido Alito
Como ya sabrás, el 5 de diciembre nació Daniel Alexander, mi nieto, el primer bebito que llega a nuestra familia después de tu partida al regazo del SEÑOR.
Hace muchos meses, cuando una noche Gabi llegó a mi cuarto muy emocionada para decirme que había sentido tu presencia, yo sabía que algo muy bueno vendria luego. Varios meses después cuando ella me dijo que estaba esperando un hijo, supe, que ese bebé que tendria mi hija seria varón.
Aunque todo el mundo le decia que era niña, Maurem y yo, dentro de nuestro corazón, sabiamos que seria un varoncito. Fue al sexto mes del embarazo que supimos con certeza que era varoncito, y recuerdo como lloramos Mauren y yo de la emoción. Porque Gabi nos dijo desde el primer momento que si era niño, llevaria tu nombre. Daniel Alexander es un niño muy hermoso, y a pesar de sus cortos 22 días de nacido , siempre esta sonriendo con su angelito, dormido o despierto, y nosotros queremos creer que tu eres su angelito, pero bueno, eso solo Dios lo sabe.
De todos modos papito, sabemos que siempre estás aqui, con nosotros, en nuestra mesa, en nuestra casa, y que aunque ya no hagas la oración de fin de año personalmente: allá en el Cielo estás orando por todos, tu familia, tus amigos, tus hermanos del alma.
Sabes Alito, Danielito tiene un ollito de barba como tu, bien pronunciado; lo vamos a enseñar a amarte como si nunca te hubieras ido, porque asi lo sentimos, y yo se que desde el Cielo, tu tambien lo vas a querer mucho.
Te amaremos siempre
Tía Sandra

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! You know, Alex and I used to go to my parents house for Christmas Eve. We would sit down and eat like no other time in the year and after that we would play some fuzz ball or something else.
Today, thinking about this Christmas and how Alex’s blog has started to slow down, I think too that Christ life is precisely the same. When we first know Jesus we fall in love with him deeply. But as time passes, we start to forget what is important in our lives. We start forgetting that life is only temporary and heaven is eternal.
When I used to talk to Alex it was evident that Christ was not only a temporary trend for him, Jesus was his savior and his master. It was impossible to talk to Alex and forget for a second what was most important to him.
I pray that I feel the same urge to pursue God as he did. I pray today that God would give me a desire to follow him and to teach others to follow him as well. In that way I feel I would honor Alex’s desires too.
Banderas, during this time of happiness and celebration in heaven, please remember my friendship and please help protect and love those who depend on me.
Alex

Alex was so awesome… He used to call me randomly at night and told me that he was close by. He had stopped at the ABC store and got some Buds and some Doritos for us. Then we used to watch movies or soccer games at my parents house.
Today my wife asked me to go get some Doritos at the store. Thinking about the request and how fresh it felt, how present, made me believe that all this time I have wanted to go back to the person I was before. I just realized that Alex impacted my life in such a way that I will never be able to be the same. He showed me a real and true approach to Christ’s love. He gave me his time and his effort, sometimes his money and he shared his dreams. Isn’t that really what a relationship with Christ should be? So many people out there, including myself, are trying to teach about Christ, about his love, about his grace. But we don’t have 20 minutes to love somebody else but ourselves.
When you think about Alex Castro, do you, like me, think about the boldness that comes from knowing Christ personally or about the strength that flows from loving instead of talking?
Today I think about how many times I forget about everything that matters. If I could talk to Alex again I would tell him that I miss his boldness. I miss his perspective and how refreshing it was to me to see his faith; how fantastic was to experience his relationship with Christ.
Banderas, none of us deserve Heaven, but you definitely deserved it much more than I.
in him,
Alex Centeno.
