Meet some of our friends from Mexico!

Hello from

Mexico!

The main language

of Mexico is Spanish.

Here’s a Book of

Mormon in Spanish.

Guess what? In

Spanish, the prophet

Alma’s name means

soul.

Family is very

important to

people in Mexico.

Families often

gather for holi-

days and to have

fun. These chil-

dren are hitting a

piñata filled with

fruits and candy!

Did you know that chocolate was

invented in Mexico? Chocolate

is one of the ingredients in a

dish called mole poblano.

This sauce also includes

chilies, nuts, fruits, and

spices.

There are 13 temples in Mexico. Here are

photos of the beautiful temples in Mexico City

and Tijuana.

I’m Margo.

And I’m Paolo.

Do you like fútbol? It’s

the most popular sport

in Mexico!

We’re traveling to a different country each month to learn about children of God

around the world. Join us as we visit Mexico!

Thanks for exploring Mexico with us. See you

“One day I had a big problem, and I felt really sad. I went to church and listened to the testi-monies about Jesus. I felt the Holy Ghost, and it made me happy. I know Heavenly Father helped me feel happy.” Abby D., age 7, Puebla, Mexico

“I know that in these days Heavenly Father speaks to the prophet just like He did in the past. If I listen to and follow the prophet, I will be blessed, and it will help me to be more like Jesus Christ.” Benjamin D., age 9, Puebla, Mexico
