So if the title of this alarms you. It should. Because I
literally found baby snakes in my bedroom this week. And I testify that
missions change people because I literally didn't even freak out I just texted
the elders "What is the best way to kill baby snakes and how do we keep
them out of our apartment?" and then they called us and asked the
situation and took a 30 minute jeepney ride from their area to come check out
house for us because on the phone call I said "yes elders, they are only
babies now but where do babies come from??" and Elder Cameron says "a
mom" and I go "yes exactly. there is a mama snake hiding in our walls
somewhere like in harry potter!!!!!!" so after that they came real quick
and our whole neighborhood got worked up about it and it was crazy. They didn't
find anything but they said they thought it was in the attic. So I basically
live in fear every night when i go to sleep. But don't worry about me, i'll be
fine. It mostly was just a funny story because my last apartment has rats and this
one has snakes and i don't want to know what the next one will have haha.
After that experience, the week went pretty normal. Life is
really good here in Ligao. I'm super happy. I love the people I teach, the
members, my companion and the scenery. I love getting lost in the work here
even if that means getting lost in some random rice field. I love being a
missionary. I feel happy all the time now! The spirit is so amazing. It can
turn any situation into a good one. We had exchanges with the STL's this week
and I was companions again with my followup sister Vi! Oh man it was so fun we
had the best day. I miss her and she goes home next week! Tomorrow is my 11
month mark and that is freaking me out but I just want to keep working my
hardest and trying to be a good representative of Jesus Christ here while I
can. The time goes so fast. I sure don't want it to end.
I love you all and I hope all is well! Thanks to everyone
who emailed me! And thanks for the prayers because I can feel them all the way
over here.
Have a great week!
Sister Turner:)
