Hey yalll's, how yals doin today?
Things are finally getting back to normal here. There are some roads that are going to be closed for months that make things difficult but for the most part the storm crap is finally over. I haven't made it to get my flu shot yet. We've been really busy. This is basically the first P'day in 2 weeks for us because of the storm last week. It's definitely cooled down a bit. It's 85 around there most of the time, combined with the humidity makes it feel like 95 but a lot better. Most of the trees don't change colors here but there is this wild vine that grows here called kutzoo that grows up the tree's and just completely covers it and then spreads to others so some parts are just complete canopy's of kutzoo and that vine turns an ugly brown dirt color that looks really ugly. The other times of the year it's actually really really cool, makes the tree's look like people trying to break out of molds or something, but it's starting to get ugly. The people hate it cause it kills everything it touches after 4-5 years. We're done doing all the disaster clean up. We helped a man named Ray Simmons on Tuesday clean out his garage the was filled to neck high water. He lost everything in it including his 08 Dodge truck and his wife's Honda. Ray was like 70 ish, and was a good ole' country boy. Spoke with the thickest accent I've heard around here. He was so funny, not knowing he was funny. Just his stories he told us bout' dem good ole' days were to just too much for me. He promised to let the English elders in when they came next time. That garage was just unbelievably bad, took us some time. He told us when we left 'I sure 'preeciate yall marmin boyz dune all dis fer meh, woulda taken me n my wife weeks ta du all dat. N'it sure does lookalot gooder dan it dit before.' Good ole' country Ray. I won't soon forget that guy. Out investigators keep getting closer. We have two w/ dates at the end of the month for baptism. And we have to couples that have committed to get married, hopefully dates for the marriage and baptisms this week. Dunno if I'll be here to see them but man I've come to love these people we're teaching! I just want them to have this so bad! Anyways, take care love you all. I'll be on for a sec here. BTW Laurie richey sent me a package with some stuff. She's fetchin awesome! No news on the visa... weird i really thought i would have by now. You think you want to know when i'm going? Think about me... I'm just in limbo over here. Oh well, my comps are sweet and i have nothing to complain about so I'm taking it day by day. Moroni 8:3! Love you!
