Haha i thought youd all might like that
about the Three Amigos. I really wanna see that movie now that i am hear
in Mexico. But that can wait i guess.
So it is great hearing
that you all had a great thanksgiving. My thanksgiving i guys was kind
of like a normal day. At the end of the day we went to a recent members
house, Rosalva, and we made carne, beans, tortillas, and then for desert
we ate Arroz con leche. Now i know beans and carne arnt really tipical
thanksgiving food, but we were hungry and ate it all happily.
This week went by really fast! I almost dont
remember what i did this week becasue it feels like it just started and
ended. The focus of the week has been on the familia that will get
baptized this coming sunday. Julia (mom) and Emily y Eder (2 kids). This
week among many of the things week talked to them about and taught, i
really like the day we just went to watch a movie. The movie is called
Finding Faith in Christ. Its a really great movie and shows many of the
times that Jesus helped and healed others. My favorite thing about this
movie is that when ever Jesus is about to heal someone he always askes
if they believe that they can be healed or if they have faith. And after
they answer and say they have faith, Jesus well heals them. I like it
alot because it got me thinking. Jesus Christ can help everyone of us
with everyone of our needs or problems, and not only that but he is
willing and happy to help us. But we need to first have faith. If we
dont believe that we can accomplish something or just dont show our
faith by praying and asking for help well that we arnt doing our part
and we may not quiet recieve the help that Christ was willing to give us
if we had faith. Also, something i have seen here with the people or
mexico (because here in mex is an extremely religious place) is that
those that have a big belief in Christ and faith that he is there with
them are just a generally more happy people. Well we showed that movie
to the family and they really loved it and actually asked if they could
barrow it from us. We lent it to them for a few more days and they
watched it a few more times. Now this week will be focused on helping
them get baptized this coming sunday.
Well what more can i say...... oh yes. So i got a
haircut. I dont know if i have talked about this yet but the haircutting
places are super cheap. Like today i spent 20pesos (1.50$) for a
haircut. When walking around my area i see some other places offering to
cut hair for 40pesos (3.25$) and all my mexican companions say thats
really really expensive, and that its only that expensive because we are
on the boarder. I then tell them that i would cut my hair for like 10$
(130pesos) or 15$ (165pesos) at some places and they look at me like i
am crazy. I mean yeah the haircuts here arnt like super professional 4
yrs of college and 2 yrs of practicing quality but they actually give
pretty good haircuts here. It will be hard for me to return and pay
anything more that a few dollar for a haircut now.
Well i got to go.
Sorry i didnt take any pictures this week.
