MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE  DAY! 

Celebrated at Church and School.

Independencia de Mexico celebrates the beginning of the eleven year war to overthrow the rule of Spain.  I learned much about this from Mrs. Juani, who teaches Mexican history at MHCA, and also from the students who did a little play.

Also, there was a meal following the service.

I was honored to assist Mrs. Brenda in the serving of her delicious tacos and Mrs. Carrie saved me some homemade guacamole.

You may notice some of the school students also participating in the children's choir.

The Invitation

School Pics: 

There were many first-time visitors for this special patriotic service.  After the meal, there were games and festivities.
And, most importantly, the invitation saw a response from many of the visitors.

 The preschoolers dressed as the generals who led in the battles against Spain to win independence for Mexico.

The elementary students briefly told the story of the war.



Soulwinning  (still the silent partner)

This week my partner, Isabel, one of the college students, led one lady to the Lord. The sixteen ladies on the van led 26 souls to the Lord.  We visited in one of the mountain neighborhoods this week.  

One man actually refused a tract, a first experience for me here.  Another man, though, told us that he is a bus captain for a nearby church pastored by one of the graduates of Mount Hebron.  

New Food of the Week:

"Queso Flameado"

 This is a chorizo with queso,
(or sausage and cheese) dish.  
It was quite delicious one Sunday night after church.  I am enjoying the many new local dishes and truly appreciate those who make them for me.

Language Update: 

I am pleased to announce that I have completed about 75% of Unit 2 of Rosetta Stone.  As the grammar grows more complicated, my progress grows slower.
