Hey everybody! This week has been great! I hope all of yours has too!
So I have a disgusting story... lol. When I first got here Sister Rogers (Mission President's wife) was talking a lot about bed bugs and how they are a serious problem. I honestly didn't think anything of it. Well we have this one investigator and the place isn't the cleanest. We went to teach a lesson and we were sitting on the couch and I look at Elder Deka while we are teaching and he has a bed bug crawling on him. So after the lesson I told him and we did all the things we are supposed to do to make sure we don't bring them back to our apartment (spray us down with isopropyl alcohol, toss all our clothes in the dryer to kill them if they are in our clothes, and then spray permethrin all in our car to kill them if they are in there.) So that was the first lesson. So this week we went back to teach another lesson, so we spray down before to repel them just in case. Well we get in there and we sit down and start teaching the lesson and within 2 minutes I feel things crawling on me and they are bed bugs.. I then look at Elder Deka and he has them crawling on him too. He also said he saw one crawl in my pocket... So we tried to teach that lesson as fast as we could and get out of there, because the couch was infested! We had to stop all of our plans and immediately go home and do all the things we did the first time. When we got back Elder Deka said he saw one crawling in the car so we nuked the car with Permethrin. It was honestly one of the grossest things I had to experience..
On a spiritual note, one of our investigators named Delina is getting baptized this Saturday. Elder Deka is baptizing her and I'm confirming her on Sunday! I'm super excited to see her be baptized because she is amazing and has such a strong faith and desire to follow Jesus Christ. I am honestly pretty nervous to confirm her because I never have done that lol, but I know all will go well!
Well thats it for this week! I love you all and I hope all of you have a good week!
