Flexibility

While I´ve been here, Ive learned a lot about being flexible. The plans are constantly changing. For example, we leave for church at different times every Sunday (and if its raining, we can´t even go to church because the big bus doesn´t have windshield wipers) and TV shows don´t even come on at the same time each day. This week I´ve had to be extremely flexible, because all the public school teachers are protesting on the main street, so we havent been able to go to work, or anywhere for that matter. Yesturday, we went as far as we could on the bus, and at the barricade, we got off and walked the rest of the way. When we were literally at the front door of the church, Myrtille called on our cell phone and said they were about to close all the streets and if we didn´t leave right then, we wouldn´t be able to get home.

Mac´s dad is flying in today, but the protesters are right around that area and we don´t know when or if he´ll get here!
