So you want to learn about Mexico. Over the past few weeks I’ve come across a few interesting links related to Mexico, so the time has come to share a few more. Here we go:
- Serious about learning Mexican geography? Try these online Mexican geography quizzes - lots of different topics and levels, to keep you challenged for a long time.
- I recently read a post from Dennis in Mexico that I thought outlined some very real practical (not spiritual) challenges when it comes to ministry in Mexico City area. Read If you can minister in Mexico City…
- There’s hot food and then there’s hot food - check out this recent news story about the world’s hottest chilli pepper.
- What do the ancient Aztecs have to do with modern Mexico? A whole lot! Read more about Aztec history here.
- I’ve been enjoying the blog of a missionary family that is attending the same language school we’ll be going to. If you want a glimpse of what life is like for a missionary family in Cuernavaca, read the Harer’s live journal. Their most recent entry talks a little about the current election issue in Mexico.
- A new post by CAM International missionary Rod Fry about some of the ministry that’s been going on this summer, titled Comments on God’s love, Discipleship and a Crazy Summer.
- Speaking of our mission, have you seen the new CAM International website? If not, check it out. Here’s a couple of places to go - read about a new Christian camp in Mexico (particularly significant if you read Dennis’ post above), or see some prayer requests related to CAM’s ministry in Mexico.
Hey Jim…thanks for linking to us.
The Aztecs were among the last of the tribes to enter the Valley of Mexico. They, too, were of the Nahua group. The tribal records of the Tenochca Aztecs indicate that they began their wanderings in A.D. 1168, coming down from their legendary home in Aztlan, referred to as the “Seven Caves,” or the “Place of Reeds.”
