This Gringa refuses to live in fear!

About 2 weeks ago my neighbour moved out! I forgot to write about it. It proved a very stressful week indeed. There had been a few robberies in my street (like everywhere in Honduras!). My neighbour upstairs - Abner - watched a man rob the house in front and the man saw him watching. He did nothing about it - just watched! He got scared that the man would come back and attack him or rob his apartment (and therefore most likely mine too!) and so moved to the seminary for the week. What annoyed me about this is that he didn't think of my security in any of this and didn't actually tell me he was moving out and why - and therefore I should be careful! Well I was fine, and thankfully nothing happened. I hadn't seen him for weeks and when I saw him on the Sunday he said he was just too scared to live in that apartment and so moved out the next day.
I am not moving anywhere, there are robbers everywhere - and my dogs now don't like strangers so good luck to anyone breaking in!! I feel completely safe - and this area is sooo much safer than the last years!! Abner was scared of everything, was apparently terrified of a woodpecker - kept thinking it was someone trying to break in!
I have spoken to my Landlord and he knows I'm on my own and is looking for the right person to live upstairs - doesn't just want anyone, this I am very thankful for!
All my friends think it's hilarious the Honduran man moved out for fear yet the white girl living alone stays!! Go Gringa!!

Please pray for my continued safety and security!
