Well Hello...
*Hey Grandma Dyer... It's "Happy Wednesday".. haha..*
So I experienced my first July 4th in the South. It was kinda
interesting. First off... I've never been around so many random
fireworks. All day there were kids running around shooting off cheap
fireworks. Those are all illegal at home aren't they?! It was scary...
But kinda entertaining all at once. The weather that day was really
confusing too... One moment it was pouring rain, the other it was sunny
and rediculously hot. Seriously... the saying is true. If you dont like
the weather in Arkansas... wait 5 minutes for it to change. haha...
There was a parade in Maumelle, and the person in charge of it is a
member of the ward here. So each year she gets the missionaries to be
the judges of it. haha. It was pretty sweet. We got to sit on this grand
stand thinger and watch all these groups perform and show off and stuff.
It was kinda rediculous, but I felt all important and stuff. haha.. We
got to spend the majority of the day with Louise... who is getting
baptized this Saturday!!! WOOT!!!! Since she works for the Chamber of
Commerce here, we got to help her do a bunch of stuff too. haha. We were
busy that day!!
Speaking of Louise. We're having dinner with her tonight at the Stake
President's house. Louise is bringing her husband and their daughter and
two grandkids. Louise is so amazing. She's setting up all these things
and making sure we're getting to know her family. She's prolly the best
member missionary I've ever met and she's not even a member yet!!!
haha!!!! Oh man... I'm excited to tell you all about her baptism next
week. This is going to be a really wonderful experience for everyone
involved.
I forgot to tell you that I got that MoTab Called to Serve CD forever
ago... So I wanted to say thank you and that I love it. Good ol MoTab...
And also... I got Grandma Olive's birthday card yesterday... haha... It
was sent to Cabot and it took a few weeks for it to get from there to
here. But I finally got it!!! I really appreciated it. I felt loved.
Mom and Dad, you need to send me pictures of Ian's sunburn. It sounds
pretty awesome. You'll be happy to know that I have not had a sunburn
yet. I've been soaking up the sunscreen. I've also got the most bizzare
tan line.. You know those mary jane shoes I sent you a picure of with
Steve the Turtle??... Yeah. I have this big tan line right in the middle
of my foot from those shoes. haha... I'm kinda proud of it. I'll have to
send you a picture at the end of the summer when it's at it's best.
haha..
Dude... It totally just started downpouring. haha... I love the rain
here. If you're in it for just a minute, you're already soaking wet.
It's pretty incredible.
So Sis Davis is doing well... Our teaching efforts have become much more
unified, and she's slowly learning to leave the random facts out. haha..
I just get to hear the random facts after the lesson. It's pretty funny.
And Clarke... You know the graduation book you sent me that had all the
graduates names in them?? Well.. I found yours and Cecilia's and
Jessie's. Who knew... You graduated with someone that's 6 years younger
than you. haha... BUT CONGRATULATIONS JESSIE!!!! I was really excited
when I found your name. haha... Go me..
I also took the Ketchup chips Clarke sent me to District meeting on
Monday. All the Elders thought it sounded like the most disgusting thing
ever. haha. But I made them all try it. Now I'm not particularly a big
fan of Ketchup chips... but they dont suck. It was still funny.
Americans.... :P
So that's about that for this week. Hope everything goes well for you,
and that the weather is reasonable. Who am I kidding... Of COURSE the
weather in Canada is reasonable. I'm never going to complain during a
Canadian summer again... haha...
Love you guys. Miss you tons, but thank you for everything.
