Be careful judging others...you don't know what battles they are fighting!

WOW!!! So many things to say, but sadly.... not much time!          
So a while back if you remember, we went to the temple as a zone- 18th of august -on our way back home something really crazy happened!!   .... after taco bell, we all got on a bus to take us to another stop before getting on one that would take us back to our areas... so here go a whole bunch of latino and norte companions piling onto a bus, all talking about the temple, and the photos we took,  and before long we reached the stop where we had to get off and change buses.... me and my companion, Hermana Bonilla, and two other companionships joined us on a bus that went to Mixco, while the rest of our crew got on the bus behind us at the front of the bus   We quickly realized that 3 large, rough looking men got on our bus, and one stopped at the front, one headed to the back door, and the largest of the three men started walking up the aisle, looking everyone down, and i assumed, seeing what expensive things we had.... then, the guy that was sizing us all- got a phone call, and as he lifted up his jacket to talk on the phone, a gun showed  and as he hung up, he shouted to the other two men that had gotten on the bus with him, and said, " a whole bunch of greengos just got on the bus behind us, lets go!!" and then all jumped off the bus, and caught the one behind us, and we all look at each other and are like "the elders!!!" so we sat there, not knowing what to do, we didn’t want to call them, because we thought that it wouldn’t be a good idea to show them that they had phones as well, so we said a prayer for them, and about 15 minutes later we called them to see what happened... the elders told us that when the men got on the bus, 3 elders had their cameras out and were looking at photos that they had taken when the big guy approached them, and asked an elder to see his camera! well.. he said no. The other guys walked up to them, and at this point everyone on the bus had stopped what they were doing and were watching what was going on, Then Elder Baldwin walked over to his companion who was being asked for his camera, and asked what was going on, and when he approached, the man saw his nametag and looked over all of the elders, seeing that they all had nametags. The robber then looked at the bigger guy and said, “they are elders, we don’t touch elders”. Let’s go. So without taking anything from anyone, they all got off the bus and didn’t say a word. Super crazy!!! But evidence that God looks out for his missionaries!!  When we are obedient, we are protected!! He loves us, and i am forever grateful for the atonement and the power that it is in my life!!!
love you all!
