Day 97 – Maybe we should’ve saved some probiotics for Mexico

I woke up at 4am feeling a bit sick in my belly. I didn’t think it would be too wise to stray too far from the bathroom so Elsa and I walked Erik to the service group and I took the morning off. I know what you’re thinking but Elsa says even a brother by himself during the day (especially a gringo) is dangerous around there.

Erik had a nice morning in the ministry working with Edgar, a young ministerial servant.  I had a nice morning relaxing at home, blogging and working on my talk on Maria for the meeting that night. (Elsa is my householder).

Erik got home around 11:30 and helped Elsa clean a bit. I helped her mom make the fish. We put fillets of fish (that had been soaked in lime juice and garlic) in aluminum foil with fresh epazote, nopales (cactus), onion, jalapeño & cheese. I still wasn’t 100% but I managed to stuff down a little lunch. Elsa said not to eat the beans or the French fries Jose made. So I just had the veggies and fish (and tortillas).

After lunch, we finished studying for the meeting, and then Elsa & I practiced my talk. After that, it was time to get ready for the meeting.

I was super nervous about my talk, but Erik said I did well. Either way, it was special to be able to do it with Elsa.

Erik had the last part on the meeting and said goodbye to the congregation and thanked them for their hospitality. They wanted us to stay longer but we explained we had 3 other families to visit and only 2 weeks left. Hopefully, we’ll get back to visit again some day.
