I love when the Lord performs tender mercies for us like that without us knowing. How fun to have Betsy at the office!
I love hearing the news about all of the kids. It helps me remember that my family back home is real and not just some crazy memory or imaginary thing to me. I miss so many things about home, but I am so happy I am in Mexico.
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day... I miss singing hymns in English. Hymns are definitely not at all the same translated.
This week was kind of rough for us workwise. Now that Milton and Julia are members we're kind of left without people to teach. There's not a lot of people who are ready in this moment to accept the gospel. Thankfully Dad gives wonderful advice about what to do in this type of situation!
Friday was the Noche Mexicana and it was a blast. I think more than 1,200 people showed up. That's greater than the number of active members in Xalapa! Zazil-Ha and Abril along with their entire dance group danced all the traditional Mexican songs and I was almost tearing up because after every dance tiny little Abril would always look right at me and give me the most darling smile. Because their mom was busy changing their outfits after every dance she couldn't take pictures. I took lots of pictures and gave them all to Sister Isis, who probably sent them to you yesterday. Today is going to be my last Mexican Independence Day in Mexico ever... well, the 16th is technically the actual holiday, but everybody parties the day before. Our curfew is at 7 o'clock tonight so we will be safely back home before the real party starts in the city tonight.
