house hunters?!

So you are wondering how house hunters come into a sister missionaries life sooo my week was going all so great, we are still teaching the familia Arias they are good as ever everything exploded, literally on Thursday night......

So it was Thursday night about 9:30 we were on our street like about 4 houses down from our house, we got off the bus because we were at our weekly meeting with our ward mission leader and all the elders, we are the last bus stop we got off and starting walking super-fast cause it was foggy and a yellow taxi passed stopped in front of us about 100 feet and 2 men jumped out separated and starting walking towards us, I knew in this moment something was weird I told my comp to put the phone in her shirt and bam about 5 seconds after they came at me,they told us to give them everything, they took off my jacket and grabbed the keys out threw my jacket back and ran with ALL of our stuff scriptures money, my comps cameras and the keys, they jumped back in the taxi and zoooomed off.........we ran home only like a block and thank goodness we live with a member she was able to let us in we called the zone leaders they were at our house in about 3 minutes they called the president and he was there in about a half hour with his wife,

BUT NOT TO WORRY I AM SAFE AND SOUND!!!! Just a little scared of every man that passes me on the street but, no big deal!

So yep now we are commuting back and forth to our area each day from the city  and we are playing house hunters to find a house for ourselves, that part is kinda fun, they should put us on house hunters international missionary version... I literally have gone in a million apartments the past few days haha!

This week has been one for the books, scary but looking back, the Lord protects his servants, we are all safe and really they just took our things, things that can be replaced. A little scaring, more like a lot scary but thank goodness my mom sent me down here with some Advil pm. So now I can sleep a little at night.

I miss and love each of you, I hope this week we can all remember what really matters and always trust that our Father in Heaven knows the greater and bigger plan for us!
