¨Good night, sleep tight....¨ affectionately says the
anti-protagonist Gru as he tucks in Agnis, a newly adopted orphan, ¨....don`t
let the bedbugs bite. Because there are literally hundreds of them...oh, and
there`s probably something in your closet.¨

| BED BUG BITES! |
Yes, the bedbugs really do bite....and then it itches like
crazy.
This week I went to war. Both physically and spiritually.
Since the beginning of this Cambio I`ve been getting eaten alive every night by
tiny malicious pests...so I went and bought some SERIOUS, heavy duty sprays and
doused my mattress with bug-killers, and lathered myself with bug-repellent as I
climbed back under the covers.
I woke up thirty minutes before my alarm....and felt a good
dozen of bugs crawling and chowing down on my flesh....Let`s just say that this Halloween I got myself a new fear.
After soaking my mattress and cleaning my sheets again I
think I`ve finally finished off the little devils...or at least, I HOPE that I
did.
I also HOPE my area can survive another three weeks until
the next cambio, when my companion goes home....I know, I shouldn`t say that
but...San Juan is in bad shape, and the Robot has thrown in the towel and wants
nothing more than to coast to the finish line. We taught a grand total of 5
lessons this entire week...and two of them were in a graveyard.
Why in a graveyard you ask? November 1st was Day of the
Dead! Essentially, It`s like Memorial Day in the states, but people come and
have picnics with the dead guys.
As a district we went to the graveyard and did some
contacting, singing and consolidating. We explained the Plan of Salvation to a
good majority of the people and sang hymns in front of this GIANT statue of
Jesus.
We did some good seed-planting for future missionaries to
reap.
But for now not a lot of reaping is going on in my area. I`m
trying as hard as I can to motivate my companion to endure to the end
but....his dedication has definitely taken a nose dive....
This is San Juan... please pray for our area, we need all your prayers!
