Rats

Last Monday someone came to cut the weeds in the yard.  He used a big weed wacker.  It took him a long time because we live on probably 1/3 of an acre.  The weeds were above my knees but now it is nice and short. 
     Tuesday we had zone meeting so we all went to Narra.  For lunch we ate at a place called Jollibee.  It is a really popular fast food restaurant in the Philippines.  There is no Jollibee in Quezon so it was my first time trying it.  There wasn't much on the menu besides rice and chicken but it was good.
     We had a ton of lessons on wednesday.  We gave a blessing of healing to a little who was struggling with a fever and pain.  The spirit was really strong.
     Thursday we had a busy day.  We paid the electric bills for the house and traveled all over our area.  We got 6 new investigators.  Later in the day it rained.  I actually enjoyed it.  Sometimes I like to be out doing missionary work in the rain.
     One thing that has been going on at the apartment is we seem to have won the war with the rats.  My companion bought rat poison and we set it out.  The next morning it was gone.  The one problem is that the rat died in one of the walls in the bedroom so it stinks pretty bad.  The smell seems to be going away slowly.
     Friday We redid our whiteboard that helps us know what our investigators need and what lessons they have had.  For lunch we went out and grabbed some food that people sell at their houses.  We got different foods to go on the rice.  One of the foods was pig intestines which I tried thinking it was just strips of meat.  It tasted just like the meat market smells.  All of the other food was really good.
     Saturday we went around teaching with Rodel.  That night I tried something called "salted egg".  It is a chicken egg that they put in mud.  I assume they put salt in the mud with the egg.  It had a weird texture but it was good with other food.
