I can’t explain how much I LOVE the beautiful city of Puerto Barrios. Everything is green and the streets are full of life. Coming from my small little farm town and seeing so many people is raddling my mind.
So as many of you readers out there know I ‘am a TALL white female. When I say tall, I mean 6 foot tall and EXTREMLY white. All I can think when I step out onto the streets is that I ‘am a tourist attraction here.
Men on the streets stare, point, whistle, and practice their best English trying to impress us American ladies.
Today showed me how much women are treated as objects. The lust that men show for women is absolutely heart breaking.
What makes this whole situation worse is these men make these gestures while their wife and/or family are with them. It’s sickening to see the low amount of respect for women in this country.
All I can do is pray for these men’s hearts that they would be completely BROKEN by the mercy filled Jesus that I know. I know that right now God is teaching me to love them, just as He loved them. So not only do I pray for these men, but I pray for myself; that God would give me His eyes to see them.

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes NOT from the Father but from the world.
