July 8, 2013

There has been so much rain.... 4th of July was rained out, but we weren't going to be doing much that day anyway! 14 inches in a day, can you believe it? We had many roads that were closed because they flooded, and one that wasn't closed, but cars were dying because water would get in the exhaust pipe and kill it! It almost happened to us, but we are good! Elders in another area thought that a flooded road was good to drive on until they found it was too deep, and the car filled with water and floated into a ditch, they had to climb out the windows and sit on the car, in the rain, until someone came to help them... They lost their privileges, and we get to see them wednesday! :) It's going to be a good time! haha. This week has been crazy, and pretty slow because we couldn't get around too much on bikes. We have a car share with the sisters. One day we thought we were good, but we ended getting stuck in a member's cake shop, which was pretty fun, she fed us cake! They were preparing for a wedding, and we heard the rain stopped enough for it to happen. They were pretty lucky!
 Our investigators are slowly progressing, except one who jumped back into the picture. We are going to start teaching him again, and this time he is ready and sincere. We were able to help him and another family get back on the right track by helping them get out of a crisis. The story is very  long, so I'll tell y'all when I get back. You will have to remind me! :)
 The sisters are working hard, they have tons of referrals! They are already the ward's favorite! A member told us that we should watch out, because one of the sisters is smart! haha, I'm loving it, it's funny to see. If it gets the ward missionary minded I'm all for it!
 The work with some of our Returning Members is going better, we had two we've been working with for a while come to church, it was awesome! One hasn't come for years.
 I miss the Tattons, the July parades, even though I was too lazy some years, Bear Lake for sure, and being in a dryer climate! I sweat each time I walk outside, I'm sure Jameson and Ashton had it worse though, that's probably how they got so skinny.... It is still hot as ever, but I'm prepared so I won't pass out and die...
 There wasn't anything big in Callaway, the big stuff happens in Panama City Beach, but there were some good fireworks in Panama City that were postponed... Callaway isn't a big city, Panama City is bigger, but is an older city. Nothing too exciting, but I enjoy being here!
 Love y'all and enjoy your week!
