Culture Shock at The Moving Company

First of all, let me preface this by saying that bodies here are just bodies. Very natural, etc. We have been told that time and again, but today we learned that very well.

We went to check out a moving company that, hopefully, could move most of our things to Honduras. A fellow missionary had told us about it, so we went to ask some questions, etc. We got there around 7:45 am as we left straight from the school after dropping the kids off. When we walked in, two workers were behind the counter with a big glass separating us. Another lady walked in behind us with a box, so the man went over to help her, which left us talking with the lady. When she backed up a little from the counter, Tully and I realized that she only had a towel wrapped around her.

Many of the business owners live either upstairs, behind or beside their businesses. I guess we caught her early, and she was either going to take her shower or just getting out of it.

What was worse was when we were having a hard time hearing her through the glass, so she came around and through the door and apologized for being in the towel, and then just went right on with answering all of our questions about the move.

Ojala que esto nunca occura otra vez. I hope that it never happens again.
