We had a burglar alert.
A neighbor called me to say: “Please activate the neighborhood alarm! There’s burglar in the street robbing the stores.” So I sound the alarm, grab a broom stick and a whistle and head out the door. I met a couple more neighbors on the street, but the burglar had already fled. Then I had my surprise. I walked over to the store where the burglar had first attacked and asked for more information. Then I asked, “By the way, what’s your name?” She answered, “You don’t remember me, but I remember you. You taught us English in the elementary school.” That was 37 years ago! Wow! She still remembers. Back in 1988, when Faby and I were the parents of 44 boys in an orphanage here in El Tingo, I volunteered to teach English in the school once a week. She remembers me. So we have sown some memories here in town. How I pray to continue our witness here in El Tingo!
