I would like to start by saying that I love Mexico and I love Mexicans! They really mean it when they say their home is our home.
Saturday we went to Monica´s house. I figured it wouldn´t be a typical Mexican home since her parents both teach at the University of Guanajuato, plus her mom owns a little store in el mercado. But, I didn´t expect to go through the gate and enter a garden and what seemed a typical American home. They had so many fruit trees including palmegranates (sp?), bananas, papaya, apples, limes, and more! Her mom made us horchata water (like a rice and cinnamon milk...doesn´t sound good but is my favorite!), pico de gallo (the best I´ve ever had!), quesadillas, and grilled beef. What a feast!
After we ate, we sat and talked in the yard for a bit before heading in doors. Monica and her brother, Edgar, are hilarious! They have both lived in the U.S. for at least a year, and Monica is planning on coming to study for a year soon, so they both speak excellent English. We sat around and chatted for a bit before she brought out her keyboard and I played and we sang some worship songs.
When we were done singing, we asked Monica and Edgar more about what they believed as Mormons. They said that they didn´t really know that much since they never really go to church. They are both really searching for Truth to believe in. We shared the 4 Laws with them and they said they believed all of it. We also gave them New Testaments and suggested reading John if they were interested.
After eating some plums and bananas, we came back to our hotel thouroughly stuffed. We are continuing to pray for Monica and her family, and we would appreciate if you do the same. Hopefully we will be able to hang out again this week before heading to the next city.
