Hermine drops by

 

All is well here! Interesting week for sure. We got a little visit from hurricane Hermine which was interesting. It hit while we were up at ZTM in Florence which is about an hour from Sumter. The only scary part was the drive back. If I were driving I wouldn't have been worried at all ha ha. But I wasn't so it was pretty freaky. Strong wind and a good bit of rain but we made it back fine. It continued the rest of the day. We were doing some stuff at a members house and got stuck over there till we went back to the apartment because the Zone Leaders didn't want us going places in the storm. After the storm our investigator who is on date (Billy) called us and said they needed help with a tree so we went and cut it up. One of my companions goes home this week! Elder Droese. When we leave him we are getting anything missionary that came out with me which should be fun! It will be interesting though because Elder Lund (our district leader in North Sumter) will be training so when he goes on exchanges with Elder Jackson this transfer I will be in charge of the other two trainees for a day. Hopefully that will go well! Ha ha. So,e fun stuff that has been going on: we have been playing dungeons and dragons with a less active once or twice a week and trying to teach while we do it and he seems to be really liking it which is awesome! We also have a card game thing we play with some members and then teach a lesson which is way fun!

This week I read about the stripping warriors and it was awesome!

Alma 56: 46-47:

For as I had ever called them my sons (for they were all of them very

young) even so they said unto me: Father, behold our God is with us,

and he will not suffer that we should fall; then let us go forth; we

would not slay our brethren if they would let us alone; therefore let

us go, lest they should overpower the army of Antipus.

Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did

think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their

lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did

not doubt, God would deliver them.

"Kevin, did you reinforce the take off ramp?"

"No, we didn’t have time"

"Ok"

I love everyone and miss you all so much!
