Mother's Day is a BIG DEAL in Mexico! Today at church, each mom was presented with a little heart to wear, then a little crocheted butterfly. Then, after the service, the young people presented us with a card they had created. Very creative! The M-a-m-i on the card is - yes, Mami!!
And of course PICTURES! Here are the moms who were present today, plus a couple little girls! I'm there in the back trying to peek between two gals! A lot of moms were missing today, because they went to visit THEIR moms.
Then a picture of the ABUELAS! The little girl in front isn't an abuela, she's a nieta!
Then a meal cooked by the men and served by the young people. Sergio (above) with two of his children, was the main cook! According to his wife, Tina, he's a wonderful help in the kitchen at home - when he's home! He works long hours at the Kimberly factory, but he enjoys getting into the kitchen.
The chicken was delicious, but some of the pieces were raw! They quickly took them back and fried them to perfection! My piece was OK on top, but when I turned it over, it was fairly raw, so I left the rest! The rice was delicious. And dessert? Well, since the tortillas arrived after most of us had finished our meal, I guess they were dessert! Served with watermelon and tamarind drink. The men did an admirable job and we had a lot of fun visiting and eating and congratulations the men on their hard work!
The young people prepared a drama, which was supposed to be done as a shadow, but since it was a bright sunny day, we couldn't really see the shadows! But they did a very creative and good job, and we enjoyed it! It was basically an angel and God talking back and forth, demonstrating the perfect person that God created - a MOM of course!!
