Supposed to be posted two weeks ago!

Last night I was on the couch in our livingroom when Justina suddenly runs out of the bathroom doing the creepy dance. There was a tarantula in the bathroom! Big and black and fuzzy! I ended up walking down to get the guys to help while Justina stayed behind to make sure it stayed where it was. She was armed with a broom. We just knew we could not continue to let it be in the house and we couldn't deal with it ourselves either. In case you didn't know, I don't like spiders back home so you can imagine how much the ones here freak me out! Last night was very dark so on the walk down there I couldn't see anything past my flashlight. It was nine thirty and I was really hoping the guys were still up. If not I would have woke them up if only for the reason that I was not walking back alone. Not to mention that the tarantula needed to get out! The guys came up with the plan to chop it in half. In the end they ended up spraying it with Baygon. So it was drowned in bug spray. Justina got it all recorded on her camera. It is the best short film ever! Really creepy in the moment but one of the best stories we are going home with! Today I had the study with Janice. Awesome study! I wish I wasn't leaving next week so I could continue it but I'm going to see if Doris will since Janice mentioned she studied with her before she got sick. She really wants to learn! She has been reading her Bible Teach book by herself. Today started the last of everything.

I'm sorry I am not very faithful in posting things. Today was a short day for us. Neither of our studies were there. However when I went to the shop where Alana works, there was a girl named Janice there. She told me Alana was in Georgetown but asked if I would study with her. So I'm going back Wednesday. I wish she would have come around 7 weeks ago. I have to leave here in only 10 days. We are both sad to leave and plan on returning again.

On Our Own

Justina and I have only two weeks left here in Guyana. The time has gone by very quickly. We are constantly seeing geckos running along the walls of our apartment. We are doing good on our own. I had a cold that I am getting over and now Justina seems to be getting one. We are definately busy. After Terri left we divided up her studies. I now study with Beatrice, Reah, Ozlynn, Iona, Colleen, Leslynn, Nicola, Jennifer, Alana, Gwendolyn, Doreen, and Sonia. Justina studies with Jillian, Yvonne, Simmone, Coretta, Senifa, Shaneza, Arlene, Margaret, Latoya, Latesha, and Sharon. I'm sure some names are misspelled. It's been quite rainy her for the last three days. Our clothes were washed on Monday and they still aren't dry because they keep getting rained on.
