SCARY!

I just had my most scary moment so far here in Africa. I was carrying a load of things back to my house just before lunch so that I wouldn't have to bring it all later. And I got to my door and this is what I saw. Luckily, one of the things I was carrying was my camera. So I took a picture and went and found a maintenance worker who had a shovel and he came and killed it for me. I think my heart is still racing. I'm just so thankful that it wasn't inside my house! After the worker killed it, he showed me underneath the spider, you can see the red fangs where the spider would poison you. Another worker said if it bites you, you will be “paining for a long time”. I'm not sure if it's a tarantula. The locals said it is poisonous like a snake or scorpion. Thanks to God for watching over us! (I don't even want to look at this picture.)
