Anywho, everything is going well here in Mexico City. Let me share with you a few things..
Service
We are busy trying to find those who speak English. I have written a few letters to those who work a lot. Hope to deliver them tomorrow. The stand has been fun as well. Today, for example, 2 folks took a brochure each. And one lady even gave us donation:)
I feel like I'm not getting much done, but I have to remember it takes time. I am praying to Jehovah I find someone who wants to study the Bible. I wish I had an awesome service experience for you guys, but I don't. Not yet at least!
"...The eyes of the blind one will be opened.." -Isaiah 35:5
Today I accompanied a sister to pickup her passport. It was very far! It felt like it was to the end of the world! Well, on our trip there and back I must have seen at least 20 people who were blind. And a few were selling stuff on the metro. At one point, I felt so sad for them and I started to tear up. Why? Because I thought of how happy they would be if they knew the truth about God's Kingdom! And it's then when you realize the urgency of preaching to everyone! It is then when you realize all the sacrifices you do to declare the Good News is well worth it! It is then when I thank Jehovah for being patient and allowing many the opportunity to learn the truth. So lets keep on preaching the Good News of Jehovah's Kingdom to all people of all nations!!
Coyoacan
Coyoacán refers to one of the sixteen boroughs (delegaciones) of the Federal District of Mexico City as well as the former village which is now the borough’s “historic center.” The name comes from Nahuatl and most likely means “place of coyotes,” when the Aztecs named a pre-Hispanic village on the southern shore of Lake Texcoco which was dominated by the Tepanec people.
The urban sprawl of Mexico City reached the borough in the mid 20th century, turning farms, former lake and forests into developed areas, but many of the former villages have kept their original layouts, plazas and narrow streets and have conserved structure built from the 16th to the early 20th centuries. This has made the borough of Coyoacan, especially its historic center a popular place to visit on weekends.
To me Coyoacan is an old town where you can go to walk around in peace and eat lots of "antojitos" (food you often crave) Quesadillas, sopes, elotes, equites, hot cakes, coffee, hot chocolate, and many more! There's lots of little things you can buy too! Like a mini Chinatown but with typical Mexicans items.
Well, I spent a day in Coyoacan! With 3 of the sisters from the congregation. It was so much fun and ate so much! It felt nice to be out and about during the night and not be scared to get robbed! Haha.
My Parents
Thanks to Jehovah they are doing well. They are slowly getting adjusted to living here. My mom little by little is trying to find the joy in the ministry. It's still a bit hard for her but she's trying. I am praying to see if it would be a good idea for them to join me in the English.
Queretaro
So, a couple from Bethel invited me to go with them to Queretaro for a weekend!! Jehovah willing we will be going the last weekend of October. I can't wait!
