Swine Flu in Mexico
Thanks to everyone who has been commenting on the Swine Flu Epidemic in Chiapas, Mexico
At first I thought the Mexican Government was just magnifying the situation on purpose.
I didn’t know of anyone who had gotten it. Then 3 of my personal friends got the virus. Thankfully they received medical treatments and were cured rather quickly.
Narcs, Zetas and Drug Cartels in Mexico
We’ve had a lot of visitors cancel their reservations with us because of the sickness and also because of the Narcs.
I didn’t think there was a bad problem with the Narc’s in South Mexico. There is a group of armed Drug Trafficsers called the Zetas who basically do the killings and military efforts for the Drug Traffic groups. They have been mostly active at the US border and in some of the central Mexican areas.
The other day, we got news of some heavy military style action as this group made their presence know in a prestigious neighborhood in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas. They set off bombs and killed some prominent politicians.
The Economic Crisis in Mexico
Tourism is really down this year also.
There is a major financial crisis here in Mexico also. It has been magnified by the circumstances in the United States and World wide crisis.When the U.S goes into a recession Mexico always follows in its footsteps. Many say that Mexico is much worse off than the U.S.A.
Oh me.. Oh my.. Maybe we should just all find a rock and hide under it….
The Good News!
There is good news. If you look hard enough, you can always find something positive when there are so many negative circumstance. Many times problems is the wrong word to use. While we sympasize with those who are suffering we do not become discouraged. Quite the opposite…
Problems become opportunities.
Despite the swine flu, Narcs, and financial crisis God is still God and he is on the throne. There are a lot of opportunities to reach thee hurting people here in Mexico,
We are seeing lifes changed in a very positive way here in Mexico. Sometimes when sickness or hard times comes it softens the the hearts of the people and they turn to God as their refuge. I believe that is what is happening. We count it a privilege to be here in times like these.
Thank you for helping us to be here through your prayerss. Pray for a revival here as people turn their hearts towards God. 90% of your financial donations go directly to the ministry here in Mexico (We are faithful tithers). Thanks for your continued support.
God is Good. All the time.
