Una semana llena de adventura.....

August 18, 2014

Hey everyone!

SO this week was a little crazy. Last Monday night I was in my bed writing in my journal and I saw something leave our room into the kitchen so I got up to see what it was....it was a rat. Yeah, we totes had rats in our house. We knew that there were some living above us in the roof because we always heard them but this week was the first time they entered the house. So that night when I was trying to sleep I heard another one that knocked something over and then I saw it leave the bedroom...and I couldn't sleep. And then a few nights later my companion woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and she saw one crawling down the wall...and after that we couldn't sleep at all. And so we started sleeping with the lights on to keep them from entering. Needless to say I did not sleep all week. But the fumegator finally came on Saturday and put rat poison in our house and got rid of the ones that we had trapped under the sink...it was the worst. I couldn't stop thinking about the movie ratatouille all week....but everything is good now :)

Also this week was the fair here in Puerto Cortes! They did mini fairs in all the different communities. It was cool to see the street in front of our house full of little kiosks and stages and stuff. It also rained a TON this week and I think a lot of the activities were ruined because of it. But it was fun to have something different going on here.

So our investigator Maribel isn't going to be getting baptized soon :( She didn't go to church last Sunday because her husband didn't want her to. It makes me so sad when someone has the desire to accept the gospel and change and other people keep them from doing it...I know she will get baptized someday.

But on the other hand la familia Moncada is doing AWESOME! And we talked to them about their baptism and they wanted to change it to the 27th so that more of their family can come. They are so excited and so are we! Please pray that everything goes well with their baptism!!

Anyways, things are awesome here :) I love being a missionary here in Puerto Cortes, Honduras!! It is the best! I hope you are all doing well and that you have a great week!
