Our normal busy Wednesday was even busier today with the addition of a night class to our two day classes. I don't know where all of the Institute class was - there were only four girls there. It was a blessing though because two of those girls really needed a lot individual help and today gave us the opportunity to work with them.
The Leavitts have been called to serve in the Temple presidency so won't be going out to Los Llanos with us. It was fun to have that time to visit with them. We left for Los Llanos at 1:15. The farther we got the harder it rained. Normally in a storm like that no one will show up for lessons but most of the class was there when we got there because we forded the water filled holes in the road and the deep puddles that covered much of the road and it took us longer than usual. We had to walk through a bit of mud and water to get to the church so our shoes and the bottoms of Scott's pants looked bad.
We didn't think about it though until we were in the Las Caobas building and the music director said he wondered where we found mud to get on us. Of course he lives in the concrete jungle of Las Caobas. We drove around trying to find the church through little narrow roads of business after business and hundreds of people milling around like ants. Sometimes I just wonder what on earth we are doing here! What an education this has been.. We can't imagine how they ever do a census count here. Maybe that's why they don't seem to know if the city has three or four million people. The transportation here is exemplified in these two pictures:
There were nine adult men in the back of this little pick up truck. It's good they had rails along the side. Usually there would three or four more in the middle. These trucks know no weight limits!
When the bus is full - that's both sitting and standing room what is there to do but stand on the side boards? The dangerous things they do on the road never end. We saw a motorcycle pulling a man in a wheelchair yesterday - too late to get a picture. (Yes, in the middle of traffic)
We are finally home and happy to be hear safe and sound!!
