Why do you like to host a foreign student?
Because I like sharing with others the love that exists in my family.

What do you do in your free time?
I like arranging flowers... making cakes, lots of things to do but I love practicing new receipes. If I don't practice, it won't come out right. On weekends, we go to the church, later we clean up my home. I clean my cows hahaha! That's my hobby.

What do you do to make your foreign students feel at home?
Serve the students' needs giving good attention, with love and harmony, and adapting to their customs. Make contributions to how students learn to speak Spanish and our Mayan culture.

What's your family like?
It's a good family. Especially, starting from my husband, he's a good father. He's being an excellent father for our kids. My kids, they work and they study, thank God, they are doing fine and I'm happy for them. There's always some litte thing that isn't so good, but you know, life is not perfect. So, I'm happy to be a mother of a good strong family. Sometimes students are surprised to see us doing things together. We eat together and go to church together. Thanks to God we have a wonderful life. My girls are beautiful and they always help me and tell me that they love me.

What is the best of Xela?
Its customs, landscape, people, infrastructure, surroundings, etc.
