Día de la Independencia
 |
We’ve had a great time celebrating el DÃa de la Independencia, especially at a party with friends last night.
I have to admit it – I love Mexico. The people, the flowers, the food – there are just so many things to love about Mexico. There are a lot of reasons to celebrate.
At the same time, it’s always an interesting experience celebrating a culture when you’re new to it. Shari and I have spent about 16 months in Mexico overall, but never a September, so this was our first independence day.
But here’s the cool thing about Mexico. Our friends have made us feel so welcome, and have given us so much, it’s difficult for us to feel too out of place. There were so many kind words even at the part last night, we wish we could give half as much back.
It’s also great to celebrate our freedom in Christ (Gal 5:1) with those expatriates and Mexicans alike who love Jesus.
¡Viva México!

Love the picture!! Nathanael really is growing up way too fast! I’m so glad you guys enjoyed your fiestas.
We had a special meal at our church today for an elderly lady who just lost her husband a few weeks ago and is moving to B.C. to be with her daughters. She’s such a sweet Christian sister and will be missed a lot.

Yes, he is growing up fast. I guess we’d better get him a razor!
