Thunderstruck

So first of all a shout out to Brady for asking me how we're able to ride a boat in our area and not be in trouble. So basically there's a member who lives out on an island (another reason why I think I-falls is a bayou town misplaced from Florida) and the only way to get to her is by riding a boat. So some mission president ages ago approved the missionaries out here to ride out to her island. We go out there every Tuesday after district meeting for lunch and it's just a good time. Pretty much all of us have decided that we want an island when we get rich :) We're going to be burning shirts out on the island next time that we go there so next week I'll have some good pictures and videos :)

Now for this week. We have been having crazy thunderstorms all week long. Probably nothing like what Elder Andrus went through out in Florida but it's been crazy. One of the nights we were in the apartment and there was flashes every couple seconds and one of the thunder strikes about made me have a heart attack it scared me so bad. I'm also pretty positive if we had an earthquake our apartment wouldn't stand because of how much it shook with just thunder. 

Another highlight of this week was going on exchanges with Elder Talbot. He came out in my group and it's been fun getting to know him. During the exchange we were teaching someone who was very against some sort of religion. He grew up in the LDS church but he fell away when he was 16 so he was getting really riled up. Elder Talbot was sick of him telling us to give our spiel and then interrupting us when we started talking. So he sassed him pretty hard about that and he finally let us talk :) Long story short the next time we saw him he was a different man somehow. I don't know what happened in the time between visits but he really wanted to talk to us for some reason. It was great :)

Another wild thing that happened because of exchanges was when I was on exchanges with Zone Lord Griffin we visited this older guy and he was really distracted but something we said touched him because again he was a different man when we came back. He told us we made him a believer and that he had been reading the Book of Mormon a lot and really felt the spirit of it. It was wild because of how he was the last time we saw him was completely different than when we went back. 

Overall it's been a good week and guess what we're driving four hours to the Peg again this week! Whoo... So probably more stories with that again :) Love youz and have a great week :)
