Week 53: UTI AND RAT IN THE HOUSE

Oh my goodness this week was so RANDOM ahaha 

SO a man SOMEHOW found where we live and was standing outside at 11 pm whispering "hermanas, im here..." HAHHAHA I WAS SO DONE! So we called a member super pilas that looks like maui from moana and he scared him away haha Literally its so sketch here cause the police dont answer and if they do answer they never show up!!! We were honestly pretty freaked out after that so we put ALL of the "furniture" that we have (plastic tables and chairs) in front of the doors and windows with knifes and MIRROR SHARDS hahhaa as protection haha #guatsecurity

THEN some guy knocked on our door one morning and asked if he could bathe in OUR SINK hahaha We were so confused hahahh we OBVIOUSLY told him no. Poor guy.  

I got to be in division with a girl from SAO PAULO BRAZIL (where my dad served his mission) it  was SOOO much fun for me! I forced her to speak in Portuguese to me all day long and I ended up understanding a bunch!

It has been kinda sketch here cause 12 young  immigrants from el Salvador came to Guat and they HAPPENED to get off the bus right here in san fran. (my area) Apparently they are armed and whatever but I heard they respect missionary's so we are all good. The gang members are homies with the missionary's here. All the missionary have made DEALS with the guat gangsters to protect the missionary's.

 

So this week we noticed that it smelt like STRAIGHT PEE in the house and we were pretty confused but we didn't think too much about it UNTIL we got home one night and looked at our food shelf AND A RAT MADE PERFECT EYE CONTACT WITH US AND THEN JUMPED DOWN SUPER FAST AND RAN UNDER THE FRIDGE ahahah WE WERE SHOCKED ahahahahh I was so untrained on how to kill a rat and my comp wouldn't even look at it soooo WE WERE HELPLESS ahahah I looked under the fridge with a flash light and I found HIS STASH of ALLLLL of our random little things. We called SOOO many members asking them to bring their cats over to spend the night to kill the rat but they all said no haha so basically we just lived with it for 2 days until a member got ahold of some poison to kill it and after he ate the poison we found him by the front door dead :( we honestly miss the rat now. #guatlife 

SO the good news is I got rid of my parasites!!! BAD NEWS is NOW I HAVE A URINARY TRACK INFECTION hahaha LITERALLY if its not one thing is the other. I went to get a test and they said its pretty minor but I need to fix it. yay!! So if anyone has tips on uti let me know! 

This week I have learned to trust in the Lord more than I ever have before. I have gone through, and am still going through, things that require me to trust in the plan god has. In life we have the option to try and fix problems all by ourselves, or let go and let God take care of them. Option 2 is not easy to pick, but the results are always better. I know God lives,  I know that every bad thing and good thing that we pass through is part of the plan. May we have the necessary faith to trust without doubting in Him.

Con amor,
