¡Saludos desde el desierto!

Day 5

On Friday afternoon, my local friend, Alac, took me to visit the Museo Nacional de Antropología and the Museo de Arte Moderno. I loved learning more about the Teotihuacan pyramids and the history of Mexico through their art.


I especially enjoyed strolling through the sculpture garden of the Modern Art Museum.

 
 

I ended my time in Mexico City by attempting to learn La Cumbia in a salsa club on Friday night. While my dance skills leave something to be desired, I had a blast stepping all over my dance teacher’s feet and laughing until 3 a.m.

 

Later today, I will take an Uber to Tepoztlán to start my Janzu training. You will be hearing more about this next week.

With Love,

Jennifer

CDMX Day 4 - If you’ve been following me on my adventures through the wilderness, you already know how much I love aguas termales (hot springs). Hands down, Grutas Tolantongo has been my favorite, even more than the Blue Lagoon in Iceland (which was also incredible)!

This got me thinking about Joshua leading the Israelites into the promised land—conquering the walls of Jericho, not through weapons and might, but through trust and obedience. God had promised them a victory. They were to “fight” not for victory but from a place of victory. I was reminded that, as children of the One True King, we don’t have a battle to win; we have a victory to claim through faith.

While soaking in the tub looking out over the view of the valley, I heard the Spirit say to me, “See, I told you I would give you even more than you could ever ask or imagine. Enjoy this bath in My garden of creation.” I had been longing for my old garden soaking tub, as great as it was, but God was showing me that this longing for Egypt wouldn’t compare to what Jesus had in store for me.
