This past week was one for the record books or, "Journal entry days," as our mission president likes to say! I got my first taste of a Tornado Warning, for a small town Canadian girl, it was pretty exciting : ). We were eating dinner at a members home, and next thing we know, our phones all start going off about a warning. We thought no way, but then the tv went off too and the cities tornado sirens! Within 5 minutes we went from serving brownies, to peaking out windows, to gathering flashlights, candles, and blankets for the kids. The hail started coming down and was about the size of a ping pong ball, our car definitely took a hit, but it could have been a lot worse! Yup it was pretty exciting, still want to see a tornado someday, but maybe off in some distant field, and not right about the house I'm hiding in!

This weeks been really great as we have been doing a lot of teaching, and helping others develop a stronger relationship with Heavenly Father. Its humbling to be a part of something like this, and its clear to see that God is truly behind all of it, because there is no way I could be able to do this alone! My companions and I are working hard and trying not to perish in the heat out here haha. we've actually been fairly lucky, this summer has been much cooler (95's instead of 105's) than usual, for which I am very greatful!

I love hearing about things going on back home, i hear My cousin tyler is preparing to leave on his mission, and I am very excited for him!! Best of Luck Tyler- your going to do great!- and I am happy to hear that people are watching out for mom and dad. I miss you all a lot, and pray for you every night!!

Well, better go, times a waistin!

Love
