Pablo’s Visit to Lincoln

The past few weeks I have had the privilege of spending time with Pablo who is visiting his aunt during his break from his University in México. I never have thought of Lincoln as a vacation destination, but visiting family makes it worthwhile. It has been fun for me to have Pablo join my classes at my church the past two weekends. He has had fun as well. We have some fun young women who can be entertaining to say the least and Pablo found them to be amusing and nice.

our Group on Sunday

It is interesting to watch as visitors enjoy things I take for granted. I have been to our State Capitol Building so many times in my life that I don’t always appreciate how much of an architectural wonder it is. I did suggest he go to the SAC Air Space Museum because he is an Aero-Space Engineer Major.

Pablo with our Saturday Group

Mostly it was great to have some time to talk whether in my van driving somewhere, having coffee at a coffee shop, or waiting for a movie. I learned a little more about México and the culture there. I did make one suggestion to Pablo. I suggested he come back and visit in January, so he can experience winter here too lol.

at church

His University in México has a partnership with New Mexico State, so Pablo will move to Las Cruces New Mexico in January to transfer to New Mexico State to complete his degree. Perhaps he will come back in the winter, so he can see snow haha. It has been fun to see Lincoln through the eyes of a visitor.
