We dropped by the house at 4:00 yesterday afternoon. We discovered that we had been robbed. A matching sword and knife that I had purchased as souvenirs, and the Superman ring that Jenny gave to me just before I left. Elder Prince was worse off. He had $675 worth of things stolen, all of which had sentimental value. We were pretty pissed off. (I never mention this again in my journal, but we did recover all of the stolen items. Someone told us that the thief was in jail for something else, and we went to talk to him. He told us that our stuff was at his family's house. His parents let us take all of our stuff back.)
We got mail, though, so that was good. One from Mum, one from Emily, one from Mary, and one from Noah. I saw the letter from Mary, and the return address said "M. Bourne." It took me a minute to realize who it was from. It's strange for me to think of Mary as a married woman. I don't feel old enough.
We chose another 200 home area. The other one wasn't going anywhere. Calbayog is by far the hardest area I've had. Prince and I hate it here.
I have fond memories of Calbayog. It was fun interrogating the entire neighborhood to solve the mystery of who stole our stuff and that we actually got most of it back. I never did find my other watch and a couple swords.
