hmm

I believe Queretaro is one of the nicer cities of Mexico, I haven't really witnessed a lot of extreme poverty but I did have a conversation today I want to share.

I was talking with Job, the worship leader about the show "extreme home makeover" (I show i happen to be a fan of and cry every time) and he was telling me that he finds that show so crazy, because when they start out with a family with a rundown house who can't afford to fix it. The American "poor" more or less. But Job remarked that these people usually start out with a house with 2 floors and a large yard, that's like a mansion here! He can hardly believe we consider them poor.
A few weeks ago a guest in our home and Evy were remarking that in the US, to be poor means that you don't have a car to drive to work in or you have to rent an apartment instead of own a house, but here that doesnt mean poor. Here, poor means you don't have a house nor do you have food on a daily basis.
The majority of people I have met here, I would not consider underpriviledged, they just realize what they can live without. I don't have AC and I'm still alive. We don't have a dishwasher and it takes like 2 seconds to wash the dishes by hand. They don't have a clothes dryer because they can line dry the clothes and dont need to pay for the energy to run the machine.

maybe simpler is better
