Its Christmas time and the police are out in full force to get some extra income.


Dec 18, 2007 - Stopped by Police

What do you do when you get stopped twice in 1 week by the police? The first time, we were driving across the bridge to San Cristobal, here in the city, near the Armadillo church (because the building looks like the back of an Armadillo. Glenn showed the police all of our up-to-date documents on the vehicle. The police said we needed an authorized copy of the papers. Graciously he left us drive away without a ticket.





Two days later, we were driving to Chimaltenango and was stopped by the police. This time, the police said we needed to carry our passports with us. Glenn explained we don't like to have the orignial papers with us, in case we get robbed or the vehicle gets stollen. The Policeman was getting his pen out to write Glenn a ticket, then Glenn explained that we were missionaries here in the country. We were here to help the Guatemalans. That kinda got the policeman's attention. Then Glenn explained about SETECA and GBS (CAM's 2 Seminaries here in the country) and how we apart of that organization. The policeman smiled and said he was familiar with SETECA. Next time, we will "plug" TGNA radio station, because we're aware that many folks listen to this CAM Radio Station.

Thankfully, the policeman reminded us to get an authorized copy of our car papers and let us continue on our journey. NOTE: Glenn visited the lawyer earlier this week and got the "much needed" authorized copy of the papers.
