People always ask us if we like Mexican food. The answer is, “Of course!” We don’t go out to eat very much, but we’ve had some great Mexican food this week.
Tonight we ordered “tacos al pastor”. We got 10 of them for 60 pesos. They were delicious, with marinated pork, onions, pineapple, and cilantro. They are so good. I’ve heard people say that the best tacos in Mexico are in Mexico City.
Earlier this week, we were out and I was hungry. So we stopped at a little place and ate some food. I ate a gordita, and Janell ate a huarache. A gordita is like a stuffed tortilla. A huarache is a huge flat corn tortilla with lettuce, cheese, onions, and meat on it. We are lucky to live in Mexico!
Sunday is election day here in Mexico. It’s a mid-term election. They aren’t voting for president, but the outcome of the election is very important. You can tell it’s election time because of all of the signs everywhere, but that’s another post.
The Mexican cult of Santa Muerte today asked its followers to go to the polls on July 5, but that they vote for “candidates for the next generation,” that have a democratic vision and respect cultural, social, and religious diversity.
The leader of this religious group, of which it is calculated has more than 5 million members in Mexico, David Romo, read a declaration in the temple in Tepito that exhorted the faithful to vote for those who respect ecology, for those who want to toughen laws, and those who offer equal justice.
Please pray for the elections this Sunday. It’s important the political situation of this country and for the religious situation.
A few weeks ago, I went to half of the soccer game between Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago (read about our adventure here). Here’s some video I took at the game. It gives you a feel of what it’s like to be at the stadium during a World Cup Qualifying Match.
It highlights the purpose of the Center for youth ministry, which is to Recruit, Train, Network, and Support youth workers in Mexico (and Latin America).
The video starts off with “There are many young people in the world.” Then it goes on to talk about the fourfold purpose of the Center for Youth Ministry.
