Mexico Part II

From Movies

It's so amazing to me how people live down in Mexico. I feel so blest to have the things that I do...it seriously made me look at everything so differently. Middle class people do not have carpet, a car, and they have more than one family living in one home. They work so hard to have just a tiny bit of money to feed their families. My eyes have opened up to the real world!

We stopped in victors old neighborhood that he grew up in. It is very torn down with grafitti everywhere! I could not believe it! This white building was his grandparents home, where his mother took care of them in their last days, so they lived with them. We visited a lady next door who has lived their almost her whole life! She is 107 years old! It was crazy?!

We got to stop at the temple on our last day. It was beautiful! It was weird that we had to show our temple recommends just to be on temple grounds, but it's understandable that people could vandalize.

Victor and I are going to start sending clothes down there to help people out cause their clothes are like double or tripple the price down there! I love my life, and am so grateful for EVERYTHING I have, I wouldn't change a thing in the world!
