After coming to Mexico I had lots of questions for my senior companion, like why aren't the roads paved, why are there so many poor people, why don't we have a heater in our apartment when the temperatures get below freezing at night, why, why, why. I was always given the five finger response. I soon found out that the five finger response stood for 'You are in Mexico Now'!
Mexico back in the 70's was a land of contrasts; stark differences between the poor and the rich, differences between the city and the rural area, the dry season and the wet season, and the tourists and the locals, etc.
I had the chance to serve in the richest and poorest areas of Mexico. I didn't like either areas too much. The Gospel did better in the middle to lower middle class areas.
