  • Hey ya’ll! Today we went around the small border city of Mission, TX. to see what cool stuff it has to offer if you ever come around.
    Contrary to popular belief, this town isn’t just filled with drug smuggling and graffiti, although it may, it is also rich in culture. Because of its close proximity with Mexico, most of the customs here in Mission are very similar with Mexico, so of course that includes great food and music.
    The Flea-market or Pulga is a great representation of the shared culture seen in Mission, TX. There was goats and sheep for sale, flavored ice snacks, “chalupa” the Spanish version of Bingo, handmade artifacts, and we even found some musical talent. The Pulga shows how the weekend is spent for many Mission residents.
    You can only find a Foy’s Supermarket in Mission, Tx. This small treasure of a store holds a huge variety of Mexican candy. Anything you can imagine is in there. Mazapanes, monedas, lucas, muecas, paletas, and the list goes on! We stocked up on our favorite candies while we were there, not only for us but also to make sure my brother in law who is deployed to Africa gets some. You can’t find this candy just anywhere! Another interesting fact of Mission is how superstitious some of the people are. The candles or “veladoras” shown, depict what some people here, do in their pass time LOL.
    And of course religion is a big influence for the culture of this South Texas town. Our Lady of Guadalupe Church is a big emblem for the people down here, since it has stood for over 70 years. It holds regular Sunday mass, just like most Judeo-Christian religions.
    If you ever find yourself down in the deep south, we hope you know where to visit now. Don’t forget tiny places are the most closely knit together, and what you may find inside its threads can be surprising.

    Foys supermarket recently closed down. We used to go shopping there until we realized they were ripping people off. They overpriced a lot of food and items. Supposedly it was cuz the Lone Star Card was the most used form of payment there. $2 bottle of gatorade at Foys cost only $1 at another store. One 50 cent lemon at another place was $2 at Foys. A lot of those Mexican candies were also cheaper elsewhere. oh another reason we stopped shopping there was we found out the meat dept. was very unsanitary. This was even confirmed to us by someone that worked there.

    Hey Erika I have a question for You? I'm currently on a couple of apartments waiting list in the Mission area to move down this fall. Have you as a City recovered from the pandemic shutdown? Are your stores currently staying stocked with products? Are restaurants all back open to the general public? And is fuel for vehicles back in Abundance? Just thought i'd ask someone whose currently residing there if You still are? thanks S.r. Nunn

    first you have to do this
    1.Romans 10:9-10
    King James Version
    9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    2. for your name be in the book of life.Revelation 20:15
    King James Version
    15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
    3. be born again.John 3
    King James Version
    3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
    2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
    3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
    4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
    5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
    4. after you do all that then you have to put the full armor of God
    Ephesians 6:10-18
    King James Version
    10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
    11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
    12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
    13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
    14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
    15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
    16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
    17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
    18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
    5. after that you can do spiritual warfare. against any witch or demon or devil.

      Mission native here and Im here to tell you that like every border city, yes crime is present but its not at all rampant. On top of that you're more than likely to be safe from all that as long as you dont get involved with sketchy people. Other than that, you should be alright going through the city.
