Holly roaches! These things are disgusting! New Years Eve we came in and
were absolutely exhausted! I barely make it through planning and
collapse on my bed when I see the most horrific cockroach just chilln'
on the ceiling directly ABOVE MY BED! This is about the time I discover
that my companions also have a phobia of all insects. They were out of
the room before I even finished screaming. I look over and both of them
are sitting in the kitchen with their fingers on their nose. (for those
who don't know that's a lovely game of "nose goes" which means I had to
kill the demon!) After A LOT of convincing I grabbed a cup and trapped
it on the ceiling. The little nasty DIDN'T EVEN FIT IN THE CUP!!!
Ughhhhh Mutant bugs! Finally we got it outside and I threw away the cup.
Oh but that's not all! The next morning I wake up, barely can see (we
all know my eyes don't open ever let alone at 6:30 AM) and this even
BIGGER Roach has the audacity to hide behind my bathroom door. It then
proceeded to CHASE me! I was so angry I almost started to cry! Then
Sister Peterson comes in all ticked off at the bug and slaughters it
with a shoe. ahhhhh I hate Florida bugs!
Luckily the people here are wonderful. Each week I love
them more! There are a couple people we are teaching that are going
through some particularly challenging times. I feel so helpless.I have
no idea what to do for them. All I have in my belt are "pray, read your
scriptures and it will all be okay" Somehow I feel dumb offering that
advice when the person I am talking to feels as if their life has just
ended. However I had it affirmed to me this week that I really have no
idea what these people need, but God does and He allows me to understand
enough so that I can be an instrument. I am so grateful for a loving
God who is so very aware of each and every one of His children.
I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you
all. Especially You Mom and Dad. You two are my biggest fans and I want
you to know I feel your prayers. Have a wonderful week!
