2017-8-21 Hard Rains & Stake Conference

2017-8-21 Hard Rains & Stake Conference
Another good week with some beautiful sunshine and some hard rains! We were in some alleyways on our way home when the clouds let their prize loose. It's comparable to slot canyons when it rains, you get a flash flood. But it hasn't reached above our knees yet. It's actually way better now than it used to be, they have built new roads and improved the drainage. It used go up to your chin when it flooded. 
We had another lesson with the couple but haven't followed up after that because they have been busy volunteering at the city hall, but we are also constantly meeting a ton of great people. We had one person we only met a week ago who read almost half of 1 Nephi already. He asked us in the 3rd visit what it means that he felt his skin tingle while reading about the tree of life. I'm so glad there are so many powerhouse stories and scriptures in the Book of Mormon. you can't read it for more than a dozen pages without running into chances to feel the Spirit testify of it's veracity. This friend of ours also showed us the only place near us where you can go running since it's more quiet and doesn't have big vehicles driving by, so now for the first time in over a year I'm seriously running again! Shout out to Elder Yates for whooping me into shape!

 We baked some german pancakes with a member! 


Stake conference means seeing a lot of old friends again! James worked with us back in the day, and his brother did too before he left for his mission! They won't see each other for roughly 4 years since James will be serving too when he hits 18.

Thanks for reading, I love you all!
