February 5, 2013



Here's Courtney's latest update:

"Rats and other animal friends: We got home last Monday night and the first thing that I saw was a huge tail coming out of a metal tube type of thing in the ceiling. So I thought that a rat had eaten the poison and gotten up there and died! So then we were distraught because it was up there really high and we didn't know how to get it down. We went in a little closer and realized that there was also a hand hanging out of the side of it...a human looking hand. We then realized that it was in fact a giant iguana lizard type thing. Yea. Then we were even more concerned because we realized that we have even more animals than we thought and because we knew that if it was up there dead then the rats would come eat it. The next day we talked to our landlord and he told us not to worry about because they live in there but they don't do anything."

Yay! She also says that they have been finding dead rats around the house, which is disgusting, but means that the fumigation process is working! Hopefully they'll get that all taken care of in time for her to come home, which is in about six weeks! She and her companion are still working really hard to get anyone to come out to church in their current area. She says it's hard work! But she's good at it.
