    As a Mexican I am very happy with this video. I know the lady said “this is your home now” all I can say is that she 100% meant that. This is why in a lot of Mexican homes we still live with grandparents and parents. I know a lot of cultures make fun of us because there’s three families in one home but truth is that it is just part of our culture. We live, we love, we laugh, we cry, and we take care of each other. Shout out to that beautiful family in Oaxaca for inviting these beautiful “gringos” into their gorgeous home.

      I LOVE Mexico. Not as a tourist - though it is certainly nice to visit - but as an appreciation of the beautiful culture, music, fashion, food, and family. It is so much more inclusive, loving and vibrant than other places, and I can see that it all stems from the strong family as the core of the culture.

      If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven and He loves you?
      Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
      from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
      Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
      God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
      we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
      there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
      gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
      rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
      sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
      The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23).
      For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
      for He lived a sinless life.
      None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
      have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
      are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
      guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10).
      Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life, Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
      He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
      For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
      believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
      We aren’t saved based on our good deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith.
      ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
      not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
      He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
      (past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
      ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
      ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
      Repentance is a turning from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
      Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
      While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
      Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
      If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
      If you have repent and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
      (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
      When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
      until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
      You are born again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
      Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
      ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
      If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will have new desires -
      to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
      You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
      revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
      ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
      ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
      You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
      As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
      In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
      ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
      ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
      ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
      but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
      ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
      just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
      ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
      who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
      Please get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
      "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
      Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
      Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

The truth is that in a country with over 125 million people, chances of being a victim of the cartels are low. Most people live happily without fear, like the family in the video. I know it cause I am Mexican and come from a large family…it’s scarier to live in a country that many lunatics and psychopaths decide to go randomly go and shoot people in schools, churches, concerts, theaters and what not. There’s crime in every country, and northamericans LOVE making up crazy stories. Why would a country that is so “dangerous” receives an average of 40 million tourists per year??

      Beautiful video, and I agree it's heart warming to see the day-to-day connections and acts of humanity that this channel shows us through their videos. Even though the movie Encanto is set in Columbia, I see some similarities with Mexican culture. As a Mexican (American) myself, I can tell you that most Mexican homes are not decorated with piñatas and with papel piquado--that would be a stereotypical representation of Mexican households. But perhaps this one family is in the business of making piñatas?

    I love this. Mexican people look like us, Brazilians, with the way that they welcomed you in their house. In my state in Brazil, if you like the person that is visiting you, you take them straight to the kitchen where you offer them coffee, cake, pão de queijo, lunch, dinner, all of it. If it is a visitor that you're not too close, then you take them to the living room. I felt like Mexico is kinda the same. Sometimes I feel disconnected of the Latino culture by being Brazilian because we're not Spanish speakers but seeing videos like this, I realize that the culture is more than the language. We're Latinos too. I love México.

He was born in Mexico, raised here since 3 years old. I started speaking to my dad's family in Mexico a few years ago and we love hearing and learning from each other now. I also started trying to go back to my roots by celebrating dia de los muertos as a way to respect the deceased in my family. We have such a beautiful, beautiful, rich family oriented culture. Make the connection happen. Now I know that when I visit Mexico again, I have more than one place I can call home while I'm there, with people that share my blood ❤🇲🇽

I have friends from quite a few different cultures and it has always been so cool to learn and make a connection with people from other places. Even though my roots are very much international, I have lived in the U.S. my entire life. So I have always loved trying different things as my friends have introduced me to them. This summer I met a family from Norway on a cruise. We had only known them a little from a few interactions and they were already so inviting. They invited us to stay with them and to call them to know the best places to go if I ever came to Norway. But yes I have always been impressed with how easy it can be to make a memorable time with others from somewhere different and how we can all come together.

      It's so so true! There is something about struggling to converse past a language barrier that requires a more intense level of concentration and commitment that we normally take for granted and don't apply in casual conversation. Also, when stripped down to the basics and the fluff is cutout, the communication can actually in a way be more clearer. When I started becoming fluent in my second language to where I began thinking in it, I actually found it refreshing that my thoughts were clearer and less cluttered. Everyone should try it, it's liberating, and opens up other worlds! :)

I imagined being a person who had their door knocked on and all the thoughts that would run through my mind if I were asked that question. “Do I have the utensils they need? Is my kitchen clean enough? Did I shower today? Does my place look cheap or unpleasant and will they/the people watching the video think less of me if they see it?” Then, watching them cook at my stove like, “Do they think my stove is ok? Do they wish it was fancier? Are they thinking badly of me and wishing they’d picked another house/person?”

    You beautifully captured an authentic perspective of a real Mexican family. Reminded me of my own folks and how we make sure to bring comfort to those that walk into our homes. Thank you for this.
