A long week

People,

   This was a very very long week. Why? Don´t worry about it. It´s a mission. 

  One thing of not that happened that is appropriate sharing was I got robbed for the first time. I went to talk to some drunks (I felt bad ignoring people who call me over). They asked me questions. One of them (a jerk who I had talked to before), asked me for money. We said we had none (considering that we are missionaries, that is true). I felt uncomfortable so I began to shake hands to leave and as I shook the hand of the one he tore my watch off my wrist and told us to get lost saying ¨I serve a different God¨. With some self restraint I didn´t break his nose and we moved on, given that drunks usually have knives and at times, guns. I know have learned to trust people less than I already did, and if I don´t like someone, to completely ignore them, especially if they have dedicated to wasting their lives to alcohol. I little eye opener for me which was good, but sad to to the lack of a very loved watch you guys sent to me. 

   Also, you don´t need to like everybody, but you do need to love them. (Like and love are different, very different).
