Where in Sonora? I have been to Hermosillo, Empalme, San Carlos, Guaymas, and a lot of other places. Love that place!
Wow! We lived in Hermosillo for eight years and taught at the Ebenezer Bible Institute there while planting a church in a village about an hour away called Calle Doce. Then we moved to a tiny village called El Triunfo and lived there three years. I have also been to Guaymas. =)
They tell me that Guaymas used to be the Shrimp capital of the World! The last time we were there which was about 7 years ago all the shrimp had disappeared. So many of the boats and captains lost all of their income. I could tell you a lot of stories about
San Carlos and Guaymas.
Did Forest Gump ever visit there?

A Mexican mechanic hit the battery a few times with a screwdriver, twisted the cables, and it works fine. What can I say, other than "Praise the Lord!"

When you see first hand how differently most people live in a poor country like Mexico, it gives you a little different perspective on things. Many of these Mexicans can repair a car with a screwdriver and pliers because they 'have to'. When you are dirt poor you don't call a tow truck and ask a repair shop how much it is going to cost. You just find someone that can get it going again.
Was in Tucson a few years ago with a guy who grew up on the mission field in Peru. We had the alternator go out on the car and he offered to fix it. He didn't mean going to a parts store and getting another one and replacing the first one which is what most of us would do. He meant taking it apart and rebuilding it on the spot.
