I know my titles are always in Spanish but I could not pass up the opportunity to use that pun because we were named criminals here in Bochil this week!!! jaja
It all started on Monday when our neighbor showed up outside our house with the police yelling at us saying we were trying to break into his house from his roof.
The police soon left because he didn't make his case good as he threatened to "kill the gringos" and was just cussing us out. He then went to talk to a few members and the owner of the house in which each time he told his story it changed. It got to the point where he even said he saw "the guero" face to face but forgot to take a picture for proof.
It was weird but everyone told us to forget about it and just keep working so we did. We left to Mariposa for two days and met with people from out there which was a good adventure jaja. But then we returned on Thursday morning and a police officer came to the door with a paper and made our companion sign it.
As we went in to read it we realized that it was a lawsuit jajajaja. We called the assistants to ask what to do and a few friends I have in Tuxtla that are lawyers and we figured out we had to go to the court because we signed the paper jaja.
We were fine with showing up because we knew we had done nothing wrong but we did know it would be tough because people here are very corrupt. A little before we entered the citorio, our mission president calls and lets us know that we should just go in with confidence and if anything happens we would be alright because he was with Elder Gonzalez who is a lawyer for the area of the church and an area seventy.
So we entered the meeting and it was sooooooooo laaammmeee. I felt like I was in first grade in the principal's office and the principal was racist jajaja. The licenciada didn't even let us talk first off and second she just attacked us but ended all saying that we needed to apologize and promise that we wouldn't do it again.
So we just did it to get them to be quiet jaja and we left and went about our business, but what we forgot to do was call the mission president and tell him everything was fine. But we completely forgot about that until we got a call later first from pres then from the stake pres then from Elder Gonzalez then from Elder García theeeen from the director of public safety for the church back to back to back asking if we needed help
But we explained everything was fine and they all came down to the conclusion we had to leave the area for a few days so that's what we did. We went to Tuxtla and helped out over there. Yeah that was pretty much the whole week. We are still a little sad we didn't get to at least spend a dayyy in jail but I'm looking forward to having a normal week this week. But knowing this mission it won't be a normal week. That does not exist in TGM but I love it. I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!
TRABAJAR
CON AMOR
Y DISFRUTAR
HASTA EL ÁRBOL
TGM!!!!!!
