This is General Cepeda, Mexico.
When I was in college I went on a mission trip there. I spent 2 weeks building houses, cleaning the town, and having an amazing time.There were about 60 of us from my school and one day we had some free time and some kids from the town took us to play on these amazing slides! We had so much fun that day!
The people there we so inspiring. Their house were falling apart, and they had nothing. You never once heard them complain. They were the most grateful, appreciative people ever. It made me really take a look at my life and realize I am truly blessed. I have a solid home, plenty of food to eat, clothes, and a ton of little luxuries I don't need. The people I met in Mexico had none of that, but you know what... they were just as happy as I am with all my stuff, maybe happier. The difference between them and me... their gratitude never fades. I can take a lesson from them. If I can have a quarter of their faith and gratitude I would be an amazing person.
