Good Morning Everyone,
Another week gone by, where does the time go? I really loved and appreciated your email Dad, thanks. I'm concerned about our Elder Marks, but am proud of him that he's finding peace. I don't think I could do it! I find I don't really have much to write today. Weird, huh? :)
I'm waiting for Sis Carolan and I I figured since I wrote such a short letter with no experiences from the week, I could at least send you a picture! The other day, there was a storm so big and so loud we thought lightning struck the tree in front of our apartment. And you know how the rain is here from other things I've told you. Well, my toe is actually healing pretty quickly, and looking good, but I still had to have it wrapped. And, being the good little missionaries we are, we were determined to go out, but I knew the wrapping would come off. But, I saw my Chacos, which I knew I had for a reason...and I saw some saran wrap, and whalah!! Problem solved! Unfortunately, we were only trying to go like a mile away, but once we started on the main street, we saw it was flooding, and that scared us (I would really like to not flood an engine!) so we turned onto a side street. About 3 blocks that way is the mission office, so we thought we could just get there. Well, all of a sudden that street was flooded worse (how does Louisiana not have better drain systems?! Also, I think everything is just so wet all the time from the humidity, the ground can't soak up any more water!), so we pulled up into this raised parking spot, and then sprinted on the sidewalk (ok, as fast as you can through 8 inches of water) to the office! We were quite the sight when we got there. I think my jacket was waterproof until that day :) The office Elders took a picture of us that they haven't send us yet. But here's two pics from when I was all geared up ready to go out! We really should of just stayed in and studied Spanish or something. But no, we wanted to go out. Oh well, we organized the mission office storeroom for two hours :)
Lots and lots of love,
Hermana Marks
