SOOO! hello again! well, this time things will be different! I am
yesterday. due to the holiday, we could not write emails, so we are doing
it today. but, we are in Jackson, for a leadership training thing,
(cause they are already ready for me to be AP) and we got here last
night, and spent the night in the mission home... it is all very weird..
SO with that, I have little time, and I don't have my journal, so this
letter will not be the norm.. at all,
OK! so.. how do I start, um.. that storm! lame! we were awaken be
the sound of tornado sirens.. but I just rolled over and went back to
sleep. and turns out there was not even really any high winds, so yeah,
it was the lamest storm ever, it did rain all day though, so that was
fun!
what else? so, we went to tucker again, good stuff as always, but
on our way out we stopped by this house that we talked to a bit a few
weeks ago. the lady there was about to leave, or as they say in the
south (fixin to leave, or fixin to make some groceries..) ANYWAY! she
said we could come back and all that, but as we were leaving the rain
started coming.. like mad! we took shelter in the first car port we
could find! it was great! and that was not our first run in with rain
that day, the other one was a little more dramatic. imagine if you
will...
Elder ashby is on the phone, being all aloof as always.. and I'm
sitting there looking around just watching the storm a brewing, saying
things like "um.. elder? wha.. um.. I think.. we might want to move.."
and he is just in la la land, the wind is picking up, a little rain is
coming down here and there, I'm phlipping out! (that's RIGHT, FLIP WITH A
PH!) but no worries! elder ashby finally ended his call! YAY! WE CAN FIND
SHELTER AND NOT DIE!! or so I thought, this was his response "oh.. is it
raining? ahh, we'll be all right, lets just go, the house we are going
to is not far" (not far for him is 2miles) SO we went on our way. it
seemed to be going well for a bit, then I heard a strange sound.. imagine! riding your bike.. its windy, you hear a semi familiar sound..
now what could that be? you look back, and you see it! your eyes widen
and the WALL of rain comes hurdling toward you! you bike faster! FASTER!
the sound is just getting louder! THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO! IT WILL
CATCH YOU!! ... now, Elder Ashby's point of view, imagine, if you will..
You are in lala land biking about, enjoying the view, not a care in the
world, peddling along as if the time is paused, just for you, and then, a
faint cry, (cause he was already so far ahead of me) that goes a little
something like this "no! no! NO! NO!!!! CURSE YOU ELDER!!!"
so yeah, we both got wet that day, more then once, WELL i'm running
out of time, this was a great week, a lot of good happened, for one,
good ol RICHARED was baptized! it was great! this sunday he will be confirmed a member of the church! and, for what ever reason, he has
asked me to do so! I need a lot of prayers to ready myself for that!
WELP! LOVE!
keep camcamian in your life always!
NEXT WEEK WILL BE BETTER!
