Every day is an adventure here, just some more than most. Last night was a really weird one -- we have an interfone (where someone rings the bell at the gate, and you can pick up a phone in your house and talk to them and let them in or not), and the telephone part isn't working. Someone decided that they desperately needed us to let them in the gate, and so they pressed and held onto the button. More than once. It got really frustrating after awhile knowing that I couldn't do anything about that, but it finally stopped.
About 20 minutes later (because it was definitely one thing after another), our doorbell started ringing. After a few times my roommate asked me to go downstairs with her to see who was at the door. We looked outside, and there was no one there. Creepy.... We called Ray (one of the missionaries that we work with) and he came to look at our doorbell, which by this point was ringing about once every 3 minutes. He took the box off the bricks outside, and lo and behold! There were animals that had gotten in there (a lizard and a spider). You would have thought they were poisonous. We are now doorbell-free and sleeping well.

Aw. man I'm sorry you didn't get much sleep but that is hi-larious!
Speaking of creatures, the wasps attempted to return and build their homes on our porch this summer but G was successful in eliminating them once again with his trusty spray can. Victory!
Miss you!! Should we send you a copy of HBP somehow? You really should read it soon, ya know. It also has spiders in it. Among other things...If I was you, I couldn't wait. Or read it in Portugese. Good thing I'm not you.
So....it wasn't late at night, it was only 8:30. We were just really tired.
yeah sorry I never got around to fixing that
