Day 8 - January 17th, 2012

Day 8- Tuesday, January  17th, 2012.

Nope I woke up the same, sore and laughing. But who knows why. :) But at least my dreams are interesting. I think my subconscious wants me to be entertained. Entonces bueno! :) Today we went in service in the morning, we walked there again. But I was prepared this time!! :) I had a hat, band-aids on my blisters, leggings, and a shirt that covered my arms. :) So all good here. We got back about an hour ago and ate together. Then they said that they were going to go rest and we will go at 3 again for some returns. So, Imma chill here for about another hour and then we will go. :) So far so good, I am drinking lots of water here. Tomorrow will be a service day, but Wednesday's will also be my day to wash clothes so I will have more to do tomorrow. :) My first door, the lady was really nice. She was interested but she said she would have lots of problems if he husband caught her with the literature so she couldn't take anything. So we talked a bit and then we left. We walked more and then got into the truck and drove for a bit and then he would drop us at a door then we would meet up with them and drive some more. :) I think we maybe finished that territory maybe. Me and Milady were partners today, we went up to this one house, the strong wind we have been having lately had knocked down a good part of the porch area. And there were 4 little boys there, there mom wasn't there. They were indigenous and obviously very badly taken care of. One didn't have any clothes and another only had a shirt on, no diaper no anything. They were covered in dirt and other stuff, all of them really needed a good meal and a good bath. The dogs there were really dirty, so some of the flies were on the little kids. They had cuts everywhere, no shoes, and there was a few machetes just lying around. There mom had gone to town before the sun went up and they didn't know when she would be back, so they were waiting there for her to come back and make food. I felt really bad for them. :( Me and Milady crouched down and we read them Jehovah's name in the Bible and showed them the, 'You can be God's friend' brochure. They didn't know how to read so we explained the cover picture to them, and told them that soon the whole world would be a better place to grow up in. We said no one would get sick, or get hurt, no one would die. One of the little boys smiled when we told him that. We left them with a tract about the paradise. They said they couldn't read, and their mom either. But their dad could read a little. Maybe he will read them the tract, hopefully. We met with the other girls after that and they explained that here the indigenous women don't take care of their kids. They said sometimes the mom will leave and be gone all day, so the kids won't eat all day. And some of the women will take a rope and tie one end around the baby and tie the other end around the oldest one, that way they don't lose the baby when she is gone. Today when we past an indigenous family the dad was holding a baby, in between the dad and the mom were too tiny little kids walking and the mom had another baby in a bag, that looked like a mesh bag for the gym. She had it closed and on the top of the bag there was a really long piece of material which she had on her forehead. And there was the baby in the mesh bag. It wasn't even on the mom's back just held on by the curve of her forehead. If she lifted her head even a centimeter higher the bag with the baby in it would have fallen down the hill. I don't understand how they can do that. The parents are for the most part clean all the time and the babies always dirty. It's sad. The only thing I can think when I see that, is that I hope in the paradise they can have better circumstances and a better knowledge of cleanliness. Poor babies. Milady said most of the time the children of the indigenous are always sick because they aren't taken care of very well. Its sad really. I hope Jehovah can help that family, both families actually. 

Part 2--

The family went out to do some studies this afternoon at 3. I stayed home and took a shower, it was a GREAT! idea to shower in the afternoon. The water isn't as cold cause your body temperature is high. After that I did some personal study and then the family got home. We did family study, preparing the Watchtower, we didn't finish before dark though. So we stopped after one hour. And the it was time to make dinner. After we ate I showed the girls my pictures of Queretaro and of my friends there. Then I showed them 'El Sonido' the Mexican version. I recorded them dancing… I think I have created 3 dance monsters haha…It was pretty funny. Then I took pictures of them with their faces all crazy. They laughed a lot. Then we went to bed. Its windy tonight and humid. Good night Day 8!
