Hello Everyone...
So... The during the closing prayer in Sacrament meeting this Sunday, the man said please bless all the people being affected by the Hurricane... So he said Amen... And Sister Campbell and I looked at eachother and said... what Hurricane?... hahaha... Yup... I live a secluded life officially. I'd never heard ANYTHING about this hurricane Gustav??... sure... But yeah. So I know I'm pretty far inland from it all still, but it's been raining for 2 days non stop. Not just a drizzle, but full on RAIN!!!... It's actually kinda nice.. Yesterday we tracted for two hours in it and got SOAKING wet... We started giving up trying to stay dry and started jumping in the puddles. haha... I felt kinda like a 5 year old again. I had a lot of fun. And Dad, My raincoat is DEFINITELY waterproof. I didn't get a single drop of water on my shirt.. It all dripped onto my skirt and that was soaking wet. haha.. So we're supposed to get this constant rain for another 2 or 3 days apparently, and President doesn't really want us tracting in it.. He told us to try to make as many appointments as we can, but otherwise just try to be productive inside... So we're doing a lot of reading, and a lot of chillin these next couple days. haha. It's really windy too, that's it. At least it's not 100 degrees anymore!!! I'll take rain anytime!!! WOOT!!
Also..Mom.. Remember that lunchbox you sent me with all the chocolate inside... Well I finally opened the chocolate chip bag, and they actually weren't as melted as i thought they were. They were just melted together, but they were still chocolate CHIPS. So the lunchbox thing actually worked!! So I was pretty happy about that.
So with this new mission President, clearly some things change. Well... As per Sister Drewes, Sister Missionaries no longer have to wear suit jackets!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy about that. Sis Drewes said she doesn't even OWN a suit jacket and she's NEVER going to wear one, so why would she expect us to? haha.. So in celebration, I wore the dress mom made for me to church and I got SOOOO many compliments on it. hahaha... There's this one family in the ward that all make their own clothes... It's kinda weird... but all 6 of those kids were amazed with it and i thought it was funny. So basically... Everyone else loves the dress too.. Maybe one day I should send pictures of me wearing it... Good idea Sister Dyer...
Also... HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA DYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seriously feels like I'm saying happy birthday in every email these days... haha... But I love you Grandma, and I hope your day is awesome. :)
So Sis Campbell and I are like dream companions. We get along SOOOO well. We're pretty much destined to stay in touch forever. We have so much fun, but we get so much work done too. It's awesome. I love her. And so far she doesn't like any of the Elder's we're around enough to have to be transferred and I definitely dont feel like I'm babysitting. It's really awesome. We balance eachother out quite nicely, and I am SOOO greatful for it...
But yeah... Basically that's all. Things are going pretty well and I'm really happy. I've been able to teach a couple lessons off of tracting and clear up some pretty big misconceptions people have had about our Church. It's really nice leaving homes knowing that you've represented the Church and the Savior as best as you can. Seriously... the Church is True!! The Priesthood is real, and it's been restored to the earth today. I know it without a doubt.
Love y'all lots!!!
-Sister Dyer
