Happy Fall! Here in Chihuahua, Fall is different than the states. There aren’t that many trees that are even changing colors. The weather here is staying in the 80′s – it’s the warmest Fall I’ve ever had! Please enjoy the Fall colors for me!
::September Sightings::
September was a fun month for me! Mexico celebrated their Independence Day. Did you think that Mexico’s Independence Day is Cinco de Mayo? May 5th really is the Battle of Puebla, and their Independence Day for the whole country of Mexico is September 16th!
At the beginning of September we went with our church to a baptism. The baptisms I’ve been involved in before have either been in churches, out at a river, or in a lake. The baptism for our church was at an alberca. The albercas are places where pecan tree farmers fill pools up once a week, then they open them for 3 or 4 days a week, people come in & swim, and then usually on Mondays or Tuesdays they drain the pools to water the trees.
There were eight friends from church baptized, including my friend Rous! It was very cool to be a part of their special day! After our church service & baptism, we spent the day swimming, visiting and eating lunch. It was a great day with our church family.
