Independence, America, and Freedom (and eagles!)
Those are some of my thoughts about today, and with that, here’s some observations of Mexico:
1. We had food after church with the ward yesterday, and the food was all there on the tables and when the hermano said ¨amen¨ everyone just went for it in a mad rush to the table. Heck with the lines. Even the stake Pres was like ¨Get in there Elders or there’s not going to be enough food!!!¨ He said it as he dove into the crowd towards the table. It was pretty sweet! Lines are boring anyways, right?
2. The same thing happens in the metro. It makes for quite the adventure getting on and off and once there’s enough people on board you don’t have to hold onto anything, because there’s not enough room to fall, let alone move. Sweet!
Well, this week was wet. I guess Mexico City has a rainy season that last until August or September. Every day it rains, some days all day it rains. It feels really nice, and it is much better now that I’ve bought an umbrella. Elder Coulter and I had a classy movie-like moment. We were on the sidewalk, walking in the rain and the wind picked up and blew his umbrella inside out and then a car drove by and splashed a huge puddle all down my side when I turned to check out his umbrella. Pretty cool.
On Sunday we got a new bishop, and yes, his first name is Moroni. He’s going to be sweet! It was a wet, but good week here in the beautiful, quaint village setting of Mexico City.
Stay sweet!
Much love and freedom! (and America)
