Wow, this week was crazy, we had lots of good things happen and lots of sad things happen too. We had to leave one of our families we were teaching because they weren´t progressing and we also had to leave a lady we were teaching too because she didn´t want to do her part to find out if this message is true. The good news is that we found some amazing people this week and are starting to see some big changes in the other people we are teaching.
The other week I made a street contact with two girls, Hermana Clawson answered the phone and said, ¨Hola como esta?¨and one of the girls turned around to respond and when she realized Hermana Clawson wasn´t talking to her, she was super embarrassed and we all started laughing. I started talking to them and telling them about the mission and they were both super interested. We got their addresses and told them we would visit them. We couldn´t find them. But this week, we found both of them. We have an appointment with both of them this week and one of them, Nadia, told us that she knew what we taught her was true. She accepted a baptismal date and asked us when we could come back! That never happens! We are super excited to be able to teach her more.
This week, I had a traumatizing experience that I will never forget. On Monday, the cover to the drain in our shower was off and I thought that that was super weird, but I just shook it off and put the cover back on. Then on Tuesday, during personal study, Hermana Clawson heard something move and she turned around and saw a huge rat run into the bathroom. We went to the bathroom to see and the cover to the shower drain was off again! We realized that the rat had entered our house through the drain to the shower. At that point, we were all terrified! We put a heavy weight on the shower and just let it be. Well, the next day, I went to shower and I was super scared, but I thought at least with the water on, the rat wouldn´t come in. So I got in the shower and as I was shaving my legs, I heard the drain move and I looked down and a huge rat came running out of the drain! It ran right under my legs! I screamed bloody murder and grabbed my towel and ran out the door! The rat ran out of the door too. Now all of us were screaming because the other hermanas saw the rat too. I was shaking and nearly in tears. We called the member that we live with and he came and found the rat and hit it with a broom until it died! It was so scarring! Then he sealed the drain so nothing could happen again. Well, the next day during study time, I went to go use the bathroom and the drain was off again! I screamed and ran and jumped on a chair. We
couldn´t find another rat but I am so terrified now. The member sealed the thing better and we believe that now it can´t be moved, but it literally was one of the scariest moments ever. Even worse, the rat had been eating my soap, it had huge bite marks in it. But, so is the life of a missionary. If I didn´t have these experiences, I wouldn´t have any funny stories to tell in the mission. But please pray that the rat won´t come back.
I love you all and hope you have a good week!
Con Amor,
Hermana Ayre
