Well, this week I experienced my first earthquake! Well, aftershock that is. We were just in the house studying and there was a truck outside. The house started vibrating a little and I thought it was just from the truck at first. Then it got a little worse. We headed outside until it ended. Pretty cool but not, at the same time. It was in the center of Guatemala and I think 39 people were killed. I don´t know if they found anymore.
Lets see... This week was ok. We didn´t have too many lessons this week. We are still trying to work more and more with the members. One of the Hermanas still doesn´t feel ready. We don´t really know what to do now except wait. We still teach her but she hasn´t gone to church for a few weeks. Their family is really struggling right now and they don´t have much time. She has to work nights in Tuxtla sometimes so she doesn´t get back in time for church. Oh! Blughgh!
We got some cat calls thrown our way a couple days ago by some shemen in the back of a truck! Not sure what it is about this town but there are a lot of them. One works at the bar next to our house! I thought "she" looked a little manly but couldn´t tell. Then I heard him talk! That same day we walked by another bar and the two in the back of the truck were dancing outside as if to draw attention to the bar! And worse, I think it works! The people here sure have their minds messed up!
We got told yesterday at 3 that we had to get to a meeting in Tuxtla by 5. We had to hurry and eat so the hermana wasn´t left with all the food she just made for us. Then we sat in the combi for about 40 min just waiting for it to leave. We got to Tuxtla and got on another combi.Our District Leader, called asking where we were cause we were supposed to get there earlier. I told him in a combi and on our way. He called again asking how much time and to ask the driver. I didn´t. I just told him we didn´t know and there´s nothing we could do. WE ARE ON OUR WAY! He called again telling us to get a taxi. We didn´t. That would have taken more time to try and get one. He called again and I gave the phone to Elder Torres. We got there and were walking to the church and he called again! I just hung up. He called again. I hung up. He called one more time! I just said "WE ARE HERE!" and he told us to hurry. When we walked in he gave us a look as if we were stupid or something. Man he really made me mad! Luckily we didn´t have to talk to him at all while we were there.
One of the area 70s talked to us about how to work with the members and inactives. It was really good. I paid a lot more attention than usual for some reason. Hopefully well the ward will start helping us out a lot more. Well, that was my week.
