REAR VIEW MIRRORS

We had a quiet week, so not much to report.
However, we used to think that rear view mirrors on cars, the ones that stick out from the sides of the car, were for allowing us to see what was behind us.  But here, no.   Their main purpose is to tell the driver he is too close to the car next to him because the rear view mirror got hit and it was folded over.  When you get in the clear, you just push the mirror back into place.  This method of measuring how close your car is to another car, also applies to people.    We get our rear view mirror hit several times a week.  It used to be exciting, but now, it's just Guatemala.

We loved conference.  So much applied to us missionaries.   We all cheered when president Armada talked.  He is from Guatemala and we have spent time with him.  He is a wonderful, gentle man.
Only problem with conference here is that we watch it on the only English speaking TV in a small room with steel folding chairs.  10 hours on a steel chair.   Gary's butt still hurts.  By the way, we all are asked to watch conference in our native language.

We love ou mission!   Serving The Lord full time is an amassing experience.   We survive solely on obedience, prayer, and inspiration.  We are anxious to return home but we are worried about getting "back in the world".   Will we become the "slugs" we were before!!

It is p-day and here is Kathy painting.   She only paints on p-day.  What does Gary do, well,  the bills of course.  We still have a house at home to handle.
