Today was one of the highlights of our trip for me. We had the opportunity to visit the Tijuana, Mexico temple grounds which is about a 30 minute drive from the treatment center. I just loved the spirit of peace I felt there and being surrounded by so much beauty. The architecture was so gorgeous and I really enjoyed looking at the very unique plants that were there.
Our driver/photographer, Ricardo, enjoyed our trip there as well. Ricardo has been such a friendly and informative driver and we have enjoyed our visits with him where ever we have had to go. Ricardo has four older children and two younger children (one who is handicapped and blind in one eye and a little girl that was abandoned that he is in the process of adopting).
Luckily, they had a distribution center there that was open and we were able to buy Ricardo some music and books about Jesus for his children. We also had him pick out a picture for them of Jesus with the children. We were also super excited to buy some Book of Mormon's in Spanish, one of which we were able to give to Ricardo and the others will be given to some of our new friends that we have met while we are here.
I am truly grateful for temples and the incredible blessing they are to our family and the whole world!
