Thursday 😬

I still do not know how so much happened in one day! All of this, plus Erika worked, I started going through all of our stuff to sell, and we both got naps in! It probably had something to do with the fact the day started at 6am. 
Here we are, with our coffee (thankfully) standing outside the high school here (which starts at 7) wondering how those students are up everyday that early. It was super productive though and made our lack of sleep worth it. We placed 6 books and 4 magazines. One guy came up and talked for a while about how much he loved the magazines for this month, how it cleared so many things up about Jehovah's witnesses  
Then I went to visit some old calls. I didn't even recognize this son of one of my studies he's grown so much. Now Erika is going to study with his mother, which is super convenient because they live within a couple blocks of each other. 
I just had to capture this moment, as we were walking around town doing RVs Erika yells after this tricycle driver "do you have the new magazines?" Which turned into a good conversation. I felt like I was living in a yearbook picture so I had to capture it. 
Then we are back home and this guy shows up to deliver G's bed frame on his horse and carriage...nuf said
So by this points it's only around 2:30, so we feel like we have all the time in the world right? So we go to pick up my m&m at the brothers and sisters house about 15 minutes out of town where we left it. It takes us a while to get it running since it had been sitting or so long but soon we are on the road feeling like 6 months had gone by like just a day (it really did feel that poetic) until we started puttin' and Erika starts saying "oh no, oh no" and we end up gas-less in front of the Zona Franca (the factory hundreds work at) which was about to let all those people out. After some trying and trying and police men coming over and trying we called the brother who's house we were just at and pushed the bike over to the sisters house which was less than a block away and waited under a grass hit for the brother. In the meantime rain did start but it did not phase us as we sang, loudly, all the songs we'd had stuck in our heads. 
Once the brother came we got some guy walking to by to help since we... don't have any arm strength. Then to stabilize we rode in the back in the rain (which was when we realized how amazing this story will be years from now). After stopping at a bible study where the brothers wife was and filling up the tank we were all good. 
The day was not over then, we still went to get all of our stuff at a brothers house 15 minutes the other direction and went through that. Made dinner, that brought back many memories, rearranged the house, blasted the neighborhood with Taylor swift, and watched a movie.
