The new neighborhood

What do you need?

Vegetables or fruit?

Tortillas?

Salsa?

Fresh, raw chicken with flies?

Unrefrigerated carne under the towel?

Ummmm...roasted chicken

Pizza or plumbing supplies?

More fruits and vegies.

More shops...

Lunch for 2?...no way!
Here are just a few pictures of our new neighbor hood, which is only one of about 50 colonies in our new area. This area is much larger than our old one. I’m guessing it at about 9 miles by 14 miles. Maps here are hard to get, and very inaccurate. I had to blow one up and I’m not too sure about the scale or the direction. All I know is that we are in Rancho Santa Elena, which is part of Mexico City, Mexico. It’s not really a ranch but I have seen sheep, cattle, and chickens, tons of dogs and a horse or two.
One thing I forgot to mention, the water system here is different. We no longer have a tank on top of our house that might get filled every day. Instead, we have a HUGE tower in the middle of the colony filled with water. How it gets there and where it comes from I don´t know. But, there is plenty of pressure and as far as I know we never run out....yet. I´ll send a picture when I get the chance.
By the way, if you already have or are going to take, whenever it happens, We would love to see some more photos of the family, you know graduations engagements, new grandbabies, and that sort of stuff. ????? Some news wouldn’t be too bad either. Thank you to Cordell for your recent comments, and Posts to the blog are always welcome.
We are not breaking any mission rules for senior missionaries here. We’re allowed a little more freedom than our younger counterparts.
Love, Elder and Hermana Willson, otherwise known as Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.
