Hey family!!!  Got my package this week!!!!!!!! 

The shoes fit great, look great, and the camera works superb!!! ;)  Got the nice rechargeable batteries and everything. :)  This is a photo of me verifying in a VERY hot sunday night.  haha.  This is about what it looks like every night in our house... working till the clock strikes 10 thirty.  Normally i do it all in missionary cloths, but when the heat hits like it did yesterday, there is just no getting around it.  haha.  We have had one of the HARDEST weeks as it goes with weather.  We have had a little bit of everything.  Heat and rain and floods.  Thursday and friday were days pretty much dedicated to service projects.  Members houses were devastated by the amount of rain that came through.  We have had some serious rain storms and they have flooded most of our area.  We have spent time with buckets and bowls, taking out water by the bucket full, then cleaning up the mud and trying to restore some of the items that were damaged.  The streets have been ruined, all the dirt ones anyways. ;)  Thankful our house was protected by the Lord.  We had to barricade our back door with sand bags in order to keep from flooding but in the end, we survived. ;)  Our house is a flat top, so we have some leeks but thats not anything big.  Can´t believe how much work can be produced from a few rain storms. haha.  I remembered the time when Logan Kitchen had to dedicate his missionary work to helping people that had lost their houses in the (Sew-naw-mee) hahah..... i think it was that thing.  Any ways.  I love what we are doing, we are going back this week to talk with some of the people we met in our service projects to talk to them about the gospel.  Many neighbors of the members needed help so we have quite a few teaching opportunities now. :)  Well, Gots ta go... Time flew by today. Don´t know what happened. :)

Love Ya All.
