As did many other Gringo missionaries. "Hola, mi amor. Ay, mi amor." The sister missionaries were also exposed to a lot of this. It may sound trivial, but for some it was a real problem. Of course, I was much younger then and had lots of sun-bleached blondish hair. Today, the reaction would be, "Uy, viejecito, ¿cómo andas?" Oh wow. That is exactly the same! You must have feared for your safety if you didn't respond the right way. And the vulgarity! Surely you were in Central America all of your life and had to go by these harrassers who were much bigger than you! Cause, otherwise...it would be completely irrelevant to what women endure. I can't imagine what you can relate when women attempt to speak about sexually assaulted by one of these creeps. Did one of those senoritas touch you? Did you keep your keys between your fingers just in case she became violent? Did you carry pepper spray? Do you have flashbacks? Perhaps you can ask a women's group where they go for therapy cause your experiences are totes the same. 3

Okay, ha ha, I'm stumped, never mind then, but I was going off of Romans 2:28-29, which I think is on point for the larger discussion of the thread and a couple places in Deuteronomy, including 30:6.
