Weekend

If you've ever had a Jehovah's Witness come to your door, you know how difficult it can be to talk with them. Now imagine if they only spoke Spanish. Yesterday two Jehovah's Witnesses came to our house clad in full business suits in the scorching sun. We explained in our broken Spanish that we went to church and knew God. They tried to minister to us - but we said we didn't understand. So they talked about coming back again later - as if I'll be able to comprehend what they're saying next time? Funny.

Jehovah's Witnesses contemplate their next move under the shade of their umbrella.

This weekend went pretty fast. Robin Mulder, who works for Innotec, was here and stayed with us for the weekend. On Saturday, we went to the market in Saltillo during the day. At night, we had dinner and a campfire at Paul's house. On Sunday, Michael, Robin, and I went downtown Monterrey to see Fundidora Park. The park used to be an old steel factory and still has the buildings and some equipment on display. There are walking trails, water fountains, playground areas, trolley rides, and boat rides. We had a good time but it was SO hot! I thought I better include a few pictures since I promised Marianne I would!

We liked how the "no food" picture is represented by a taco. Yep. We're in Mexico.
