Francisco Giralte came yesterday to Madrid, I'm very happy. He's known in the entire Iberian Peninsula. The Vargas family asked him to make some paintings and sculptures for the Bishop to put them on a church called San Andrés. My name is Pedro, I'm a boy and I'm studying to become and sculpto, and a banker like my father. My family is rich, but we are not like the Vargas family, who live near us. My street is very famous because we have the street Costanilla de San Andrés, the Church of San Andrés and the Chapel of the bishop that have the body of San Isidro inside of it, but they are going to move it to other Chapel or Church. Tomorrow I'm going to talk with Francisco de Vargas and his family, because I want to work with Giralte some days to learn about the paingtings and sculptures that he's doing.

This year is very important for me because I have finished my studies so I have to work soon and if I work with Giralte some days and he likes my ideas I would be able to work with important people. Today I have to finish my sketch and I think that my idea is very good and original.

Today is the day!

I'm going to show Giralte my sketch. I'm very nervous and i couldn't sleep this night. I went to met him and I showed him my sketch. He accepted! In his opinion my work was very good and I'm a very talented person. I'me very happy and my family too.
