That’s great. Be sure and download and print out all the free tracks on the Catholic Faith. There should be many in Spanish and feel free to contact Steve Dawson for any help you need.
Good luck and God bless
 
Try to give out free rosaries:)

There is section on n St Martha Adult Faith Formation En Espanol. They recorded their cathechism in mp3

tercer abecedario espiritual(PDF) is a book that is read by St Teresa of Avila. Third Spiritual Alphabet. It’s in Spanish.

A prayer session every so often along the way with people may bring extra blessings to your plans.

Thanks so much for this discussion, and for the helpful reminder that our efforts must be drenched in prayer.

One way to evangelize is to use your gifts and talents to sow into a community in need. I’m an American living in China, and had long thought about creative ways to share the gospel here. The Lord led me to an underserved diocese in China to build a tea export company that supports the Church and Catholic tea farmers there. At first it seemed strange to create a tea mission, but the Lord uses our tea work to share his love and teachings with believers and nonbelievers alike.

I’m sure there are many communities in need in Mexico. Perhaps you can think of skills you have to offer a parish or diocese. Providing English (or other) lessons to help people find better jobs? Leading a bible study on a topic of interest to that community? Preparing accessible materials in Spanish that help people come to develop a personal relationship with Christ? Organizing a book or movie club that creates discussion about faith? The list is endless if we ask the question, “Lord, how will you use me to help?”

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the options, not to mention the day-to-day business of life, but that’s where prayer comes in. Sometimes we just pray for discernment to pick an evangelization initiative based on what we do best, and then carry it through as best we can.

I have been to Mexico a few times, and praying the rosary at the Basilica of Guadalupe is a truly transformative experience. Sure wish I were closer by! I will pray for your intentions.
 
Probably the best way to evangelize is to be like our mother Mary, a humble vessel to carry Jesus. Do all that will allow yourself to be filled with His presence ( prayer, sacraments, rosary, word of God etc). When His light fills you it will be seen by others who encounter you. Then you will not be projecting yourself but He will ooze out of you.
Secondly, pray a lot for all those the Lord makes your heart heavy for. Intercession . This will do more ( have the greatest impact) than any talk or encounter that you may have with anyone. It is quiet and unseen. But the Lord hears these prayers and responds unfailingly.
Considering your situation at home. I would suggest you do this and also one on one evangelization where you love people whoever you encounter ( begining with your husband and children). Pray for wisdom and God will tell you when to talk to them about him and when not to, and what to talk and what not to.
Beyond this it is best to discern with your pastor before you proceed- like organizing movies etc since your commitment to these should not in anyway prevent you from doing what you have to primarily do of being a good mother and wife.
 
Heavenly Father please keep uplifting, encouraging and protecting this person to carry your light into the darkness. I pray this Jesus, in your name.

Keep up the good work!
