Hola Familia!!
Well this was the most insane week i have ever had in my life. And that's saying something. So let me just tell you all the story.
Tuesday afternoon we go back to the house around 4 to grab a sweater. we live in an apartment on the third level and on the second level there are 2 offices and they leave the door downstairs open all day so whoever wants to can enter. Well' we are walking up the stairs and on the second floor there is just this lady standing there, not doing anything. We think nothing of it cause the offices are right there. Well then we go up to the third floor go in our house and grab a sweater and leave. Well when we walk out the lady who was below was standing outside our door. It was a little weird but we didn't think anything of it. Then Wednesday morning we go on a bus to go to a zone meeting. I open my wallet and allllll my money is gone. I tell hna rubio and she says well maybe you took it out. I didn't remember taking it out but i just forgot about it. After the mtg around 1:30 we go home and I start looking for my money. There was a box on my desk and under it i had the money to pay the rent and it was gone! So hna Rubio checked where she keeps her money and it was alllll gone. We had been robbed!! We called our zone leaders who called president who said that he wants us out of our house right now. So we packed up alllll our things in 1 hour and then the secretaries came to get us and took us to another area to stay with some hnas until we found a house. So they take us and allllllll our stuff to the other house (they only left beds and tables in our apartment) and there we stayed, sleeping in cots. By this time it was like 5:30. So we go back to our area and start looking for a house. We looked all day thursday and friday and FINALLY friday night we found a beautiful house that our leaders came to approve and so friday night we moved in. So work wise we literally did not do anything this week. Somehow the whole ward found out and these people are super awesome and everyone started looking for a house for us. The way to look for a house in guatemala is walk down the streets and see if any of the houses have a paper taped on the window that says to rent sooo you can imagine how much walking that was. But now our house is in a gated place and it has a washer and two bathroom and a piano sooooo...its great. The bad part is i'm leaving haha. Oh well! But it is a house of members that was reallllllyy expensive but I think they had some mercy on us after hearing our situation and lowered the price 1000 quetzs thank goodness. So that's that. It was really funny cause Rubio and i would just be walking down the road and be like, our parents have noooo idea whats happening to us right now...hehe but don't worry. Well this was the most insane week i have ever had in my life. And that's saying something. So let me just tell you all the story.
This is what homeless looks like for 2 hermanas!
