Week 25 in Sarastoa

Justin and Heidi!

Hello!!! I did get the

ecolipse pictures! They look amazing! Some members of the YSA went to

Kentucky to see it and they said it was one of the most amazing things

they've seen. They said during it the crickets chirped and then

suddenly stopped when the moon moved away from the sun. Crazy! I can't

believe it was your 22nd anniversary! What a blessing I'm sure to be

at the temple too! Thank you for your example of what it means to

endure, and have a true loving eternal relationship. There are so many

who don't know what miraculous blessings are in store from our Father

in Heaven. This week Justin Jacques who was baptized in March was just

married to Heidi. She was the one who actually introduced him to the

church. She moved with her kids down here from Wyoming. It amazing to

see how the Lord lined everything up for them to be together. Now

they're working on being ready for the temple! One year to go! This

week was rough when it comes to the actual work. We had really good

lessons but when we had time to go find it would be pouring and there

would be giant lighting strikes. There was a tropical wave over us all

week...there's A LOT of flooding so I'm not sure if we'll be asked to

go help those people. There was one night when we were driving back

from a baptismal Interview and a storm hit. We only had a mile and a

quarter of visibility so we went from going 55mph to 25mph. There was

at least an inch of rain on the road in a matter of minutes. Crazy!

This week the weather should be back to normal and the flooding should

slowly go away. Sounds like Texas got hit pretty bad too. That storm

is supposed to head east later this week so hopefully it doesn't grow

again and decide to go for Florida. Besides the weather though things

are going well and there's a lot of good individuals we're working

with. I'm excited for the miracles to come! I love you so much! I hope

you have a great week!!
