So Saturday Annie and I left the house around 9:30 to meet Carmen and her two daughters Paula and Abi to visit Carmen's family outside of Leon. We got on a bus from there and left. We were on the bus for 30-45 min. I sat by Carmen and talked to her about a lot of things. I showed her what I was reading in Romans 12. She liked it and had never read it before. It was encouraging because she also told me that her family and her were trying to memorize some verses. When we arrived we walked on the dirt roads to their house. We arrived and met Carmen's mom for the first time. She was very quite but really sweet. She made us yummy quesadillas. A lot of her grandkids and kids were there in the house. They were playing games. After we had eaten, we sat down on the mini couches, which is pretty normal, and talked a lot. I learned two spanish tongue twisters. We also sang church songs. So they ate breakfast around 11 and then we ate Lupper (my new word Lunch + Supper) around 6 or 7. Isn't that crazy. I definitely felt faint and had to have a little snack and some water from a little tienda. By the way, I think this is typical for Mexicans. We ate lunch /supper in the mall. Then we went Skating in the mall which was a lot of fun. I will have to post some pictures later!
Anyways this was a fun day and a very blessed day in Mexico!
The next day one youth teenager told me that when my team and I left the field he imagined that they would miss us like we miss our family. I was amazed at how much they really do look up to us and love us!

I'm so proud of you, J'lae. I really have missed you but reading about what you are doing in Mexico makes it all worth it. Keep that smile on your face and His love in your heart. Jerimiah 29:11
thanks for serving our LORD here in LEON. We missed you while you were in TX.
