Hey Everyone!
Sounds like you had a great week! Ours was pretty good here too. Last Monday though was crazy cause even though it's our p-day it's over at 6:00pm so we go out and work from 6 to 9. So it was about 8:30pm and we were about 15 minutes away from our apartment and everyone was telling us that a big storm was coming and that we needed to get inside somewhere. We just thought they all were crazy and that we don't care to ride through the rain. So as we were about to head home it just started pouring rain; probably some of the hardest rain I have seen and the lightning was crackling and we were both pretty nervous to ride home but we started to anyway. About 5 minutes into it a member texted us and said to hurry and get inside cause there was a tornado warning for the Leon Valley area. So we were pretty scared and peddled really fast home and it started getting really windy but luckily we made it home, even tho we were drenched from head to toe. Then our mission president sends out a text that says tornado warnings in the area and that if one hits to get in the bathtub cause I guess that's the safest place. It got really bad outside but the tornado didn't hit us. We found out the next day that it touched down in a place called Divine which isn't too far away from us and that it was supposed to head right for us but then it lifted back up into the sky. So it was a pretty crazy experience; my companion didn't sleep all night (ha ha) Anyway, thanks mom for the package; it was really nice; I really liked it:) Me and my companion are really excited for General Conference; it's cool cause I have never been excited for General Conference before. Shaun is doing really good and is still set for the 7th of April. As of right now I'm going to baptize him and I am kind of nervous cause he is a pretty big guy; so I hope I can lift him out of the water (ha ha). But him and Rolando were both at church again yesterday. Rolando's family couldn't make it again but they are gonna watch conference and they really want to come the week after so we are pretty excited for them. Every time we go over to his house for a lesson he cooks us up a big meal. He is a really good cook and likes cooking for us. He really likes church and likes how friendly everyone is to him. We know he will be sold if he watches some general conference. So the work this week has been pretty good we are working with a few other people. But are just waiting to find out how solid they are. We have been teaching Shaun at a members house; they are really nice and they always do stuff for him. It is his birthday today so they are having him and us over for dinner; we are making sure to keep a close eye on him to make sure that nothing happens. The mattress I have now is so much better than the ones I had in the MTC and up in Kyle. Those were just really thin and you could feel the springs; but the one I have now is nice so hopefully I keep getting lucky with good mattresses (ha ha). It is already starting to get pretty hot here. I'm not looking forward to summer (ha ha). Well Monkey's only one more quarter before summer! I'm sure you and mom are excited for a break. Wow Candace it sounds like you are tearing it up in softball! Keep up the good work; that's really cool. I'm excited to hear more. Wow Courtney it sounds like your team is doing really well and improving a lot! It will be good to watch you both when I get home! I'm glad that you are really enjoying basketball. Well everyone that's all I got for this week. I hope you all really enjoy General Conference; I'm sure it will be great!
Love!
