Overwhelming

Last Monday we went to the house of a lovely couple who hve supported the work with street kids for many years. They had been storing some camp materials and we went to pick them up. We were invited to eat (in typical Mexican fashion) but we had arrived totally unprepared and Tabitha was tired but with no travel cot she just wouldn't go to sleep. We had to leave but we arranged to return today (Sunday) for something to eat.

The family speak good English so we invited Gary (who is here for a year) along. What a meal was prepared. This family is SO hospitable! About 10 other people were invited from their church and there was a waiter to help serve us a fantastic meal. These were all lovely people who were interested to hear about Proyecto MEFI.

Most were also musical and we had a sing-song and they prayed with us before we left. It was far more than we ever expected but just another example of how loving and kind and friendly so many of the Mexicans are.
