Aguascalientes

Whats good everyone, 

My wonderful time in Mexico continues and I continue to be introduced to new things. Two weeks ago I went to an italian restaurant here and I had THE best grilled salmon that I've ever had. It was topped with chives and this sweet sauce that was so delicious. Along with it I had a side of mashed potatoes that were so good. Not as good as down south but almost there yo. For desert I had a cheese cake that was fluffy in the middle and it was topped with chocolate chips nuts and a chocolate glaze. It was delicious. 

In other news I traveled to Aguascalientes this past weekend. It was wonderful.  A small town that is said to be the Heart of Mexico. It was so beautiful. We left Friday night around 11:30 and arrived early saturday morning around 6:20am. When we got there we went to the house of my friend's sister (it was her and her daughter's birthday that we went down to celebrate.) and had a wonderful breakfast. The shops are so interesting, we went to the local corner stores to buy the ham, eggs, frijoles (beans), and pan (bread). After doing some very exciting and informative touring of downtown (shopping as well) I got to attend the birthday party for my friend's sister and niece. It was great, I got a chance to see the families interacting with each other in a different way than in my host family. The difference was very evident. 

My friend Eliasib's dad reminds me of my Dad the way he alway compliments his wife and calls her Mi Amor and Bebito. Oh thats my love and baby. But he is very attentive to his family, praise God for godly fathers. I got a chance to talk to him about the joys of having grandchildren, a great conversation where he explained how he viewed them as a blessing and the greatest sensation. He is in love with his family and its very evident. Eliasib's brother in law Harrison as well. He loves his kids and its so evident in his interaction with them. Their family is so close knit which reminds me of my family. Thank you Lord for raising up godly men all over the world who love you and follow you as they lead their family. Seeing Eliasib's family love each other made it that much more enjoyable. 

Over all going to Aguascalientes was such a great trip. It made me want to learn constellations because it was so clear at night. You could see the stars perfectly so I'm interested to know what constellations I can see here that I couldn't see when I did night security at KAA this summer. God's creation is so awesome. In the meantime I've just been trying to hold it down for the Lord yo. Be praying for more opportunities for me to share my faith. True love is in Jesus Christ. 

Grace and Peace!!!
