Honduran migrant says that beans and tortillas are food for pigs

This video has become in-famous in Mexico because as everyone knows, in Mexico we love refried beans. Even in many parts of Mexico they are considered a luxury that cannot always be afforded.

Alma and I visited with Raul, a 27 year old man sitting on a sofa outside his apartment in la Anza. After a few questions, he shared that he expected he would get into heaven because, well, he hadn't done anything exceptionally bad. So, after looking at a few of the Ten Commandments, he changed his story, confessing his guilt and inability to enter heaven. So, after presenting the love of God sending Jesus to the cross to pay the penalty for his sins, we asked if he was ready to repent and trust Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He then brought up this story of the Honduran and the beans. We can be so ungrateful sometimes, like the Honduran and the beans. I don't want to be like that, and so we prayed together. Pray for Raul and his wife Itza, and the people of the migrant caravan.
