Mexico is

in North

America. It has

more than 120

million people.

About 1.5

million of them

belong to the

Church.

Meet some of our friends from Mexico! Watch a video about

another child from Mexico at friend.lds.org in February.

Hello from

Mexico!

Here’s a Book of

Mormon in Spanish,

the main language

of Mexico. In Spanish,

the prophet Alma’s

name means “soul.”

Chocolate may have been

invented in Mexico. It’s

used in a sauce called

mole. The sauce also

includes chilies, nuts,

fruits, and spices.

Mexico has 13 temples. These beauti-

ful temples are in Mexico City (left) and

Tijuana (right).

Do you like

fútbol? It’s

the most

popular sport

in Mexico!

Thanks for exploring Mexico with us. See you

next time!

One day I had a big

problem, and I felt really

sad. I went to church and

listened to the testimonies

about Jesus. I felt the Holy

Ghost, and it made me

happy. I know Heavenly

Father helped me feel

happy.

Abby D., age 7, Puebla, Mexico

I know that in these days

Heavenly Father speaks to

the prophet just like He did

in the past. If I listen to and

follow the prophet, I will be

blessed, and it will help me

to be more like Jesus Christ.

And I’m Paolo.

In Mexico

families often

gather for

holidays and to

enjoy being

together.

Children have

fun hitting piñatas

filled with fruits

and candy!
