Mexico

Hello,

We have been in Mexico for the last week.

For the last 18 months we have been called to serve as short term

Specialists for the Welfare Department of 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

We aren't sure how long we will serve in this assignment,

But will serve as long as we are needed.

Currently we are in Mexico, working with a senior couple

Called to serve here and work on the food initiative.

That is the area in which we work, specializing in teaching 

Self-Reliance.  Our assignment is to teach Priesthood leadership 

How to discover their resources in their area,

And use those resources of people, knowledge, and home 

Supplies.  Their resources can be used in gardening or in raising small 

Animals, so that local people can have more of an ability to

Sustain their personal and family needs right in their own yard, 

And at a budget they can afford.

So here we are in Mrxico training this couple how to do this.

We have a few slow days now, 

Because we leave on Saturday to tour areas of Mexico and introduce

This to the Priesthood leaders that have requested this kind of help.

There are about 10 missionary couples in Mexico City,

So they have adventures planned for evenings and pdays.

Tonight I will attend a concert with them, Dana isn't interested,

A violinist, it should be fun.

Studying Spanish has been on my agenda since January,

And I am not great at it, still my vocabulary is limited, but I can 

Understand some, and I am learning everyday.

Will post some pics as the weeks continued,

We will be here for a month.

Hugs for now,

Robin
