Day 12- Saturday, January 21st, 2012. 

There is a bug here that is smaller then an ant. And it bites you something fierce. The bites swell to the size of Mosquito bites and they itch for longer, they can also get infected if you itch them a lot. Yesterday when we finished the territory and were waiting for the brother to come get us we sat down in the caseta. Which is like a little cement building with open air, thats where you wait for the bus. Well, apparently there were tons of those little bugs everywhere. Yari has bites all over her thighs. But I guess I lucked out! I couldn't sleep last night cause I was itch all over. I didn't go out in service because last night AGAIN I couldn't sleep. So I told the family I would't go out, and I tried to catch up on my sleep-time. I could only sleep until 10:30. Well when I got up I realized I was really itchy. I kind of just chilled around this morning. When I got up to go eat something, the family got home, there I was in the kitchen with my jams on, at least they were appropriate jams. :) I am at the point now that this shirt is even bagger then when I got here, so you can't really tell what my figure is when I wear it. Ha! At least its comfy. The family asked how I was feeling and I told them I couldn't sleep last night, and that I think there were about a million mosquitoes in my room last night. The mom asked if I had bites and I said yes I showed her my arms. And then Yari said she had bites all over her thighs. So I lifted my pant legs and there are seriously about 15 bites on each leg up until the knee. They told me about the bugs, the mom wanted to know if we sat anywhere in service. I told her we sat at the caseta. And she said that's where they must have been. So now I have to go about finding each bite and putting some stuff on 'em. I don't know what the plan is for today, but that's definitely part of it. All I know is that I am SUPER SUPER itchy on my legs and arms. :( Sadness. I am going to eat in here cause I don't feel like changing my clothes. haha. Then when I am done eating I will probably take a shower and then find each bite mark. Then I am planning to do some more studying. I have 45 sections. So i want at least 5 more by the end of today. And I need to study for my meeting too. I didn't wake up laughing today. :( I keep remembering the Indiana Jones movies where they are driving and the one guy gets swarmed by ants and they are everywhere on him, and then they take him into their ant house…sceeeeeery! But that's what I keep remembering. :( Hope that doesn't happen to me. 

Part 2- I just counted 23 bites on my left leg and 21 on my right. They stopped at the knee.  7 on my left arm and 6 on my right. So… 57 total crazy mad itch spots. There is a possibility they bit my head too cause my head itches. Crazy right?! So I really don't feel good. :( There has been a lot of dust in the air. And for about 4 hours the family today burned stuff, so my throat is hurting. and for some reason I don't have cough drops or anything for throat-hurting-ness in my kit. :( I am going to bed early tonight. Its not even 8:40 yet. But maybe I will get a good night sleep tonight. I found out also that the party isn't on Monday its on Wednesday…weird day for a party no? Anyways, its on Wednesday so I don't have to rush back home on Monday. :) I hope I feel better in the morning though. The other girls are going to come over and we are sleeping outside…I hope my throat doesn't hurt by then. Tomorrow or Monday I will do some more Bible Reading/Research but not tonight. My eyelids are heavy and I want to be able to concentrate when I do my research. I finished my Watchtower and wrote more on my thing. So I guess that's it. Until tomorrow… Goodnight Day 12!! :)
