Welcoming the Canadians

It was announced on Sunday morning – in the evening there was going to be a get-together, for a family of Canadians that had recently moved to the area. Know anyone like that?

Yep, it was us. 🙂 We came to the house the church meets in around 6pn on Sunday, and it was all set up with balloons, sandwiches, cake and coffee.

We had a great time with the people that came. Rod had put together a quiz on Canada (fortunately I knew all the answers – *phew* !), and then we had a game of charades featuring Mexican sayings.

I got to act out an easy one… No se puede tapar el sol con un dedo, which means You can’t cover the sun with a finger (I think this would refer to trying to hide or cover up something that really cannot be hidden so easily).

Then we shared a little about how we ended up in Mexico City (a tricky thing to explain, especially in Spanish, since God really led us here little by little through a hundred things. Safe to say it was a journey).

We had some time to talk afterwards too. It was really great to connect with people, and we’re looking forward to getting to know everyone better! There are such great people here, it’s an honour to get to spend time with them and learn from them.

Footnote: By the way – here’s a saying I don’t think we covered Sunday, but I love it. El amor es ciego pero los vecinos no. That is, Love is blind, but neighbours aren’t. 😉
