Another great week up here in Top City! Life is so good up here!!!! So when I first came out I entitled a email "tornado" to grab the readers attention, and in actuality there wasn't any bad storms. This week, a different story! So Monday night we have this conference call with the Mission President where we talk about the week and what we are doing in each zone. It's super good, but this one started off differently! It started by talking about the weather and how there was a super high chance of a tornado happening the next day. It was predicted to be the worst storm in 50 years. So we had to make sure every missionary knew exactly where their tornado shelter was and how to get there and all that fun jazz. So we wake up the next day and everything is fine and dandy. We have district meeting and lunch and we get out to work. and then in about 15 min the sky goes from kinda cloudy but still sunny to dark and dreery. It was kinda eerie how quick it came! We get a call from a companionship that decided that biking was a good idea that day and were miles from their car and it was starting to rain pretty bad so we had to go give them a ride. Right as they got into the car, the tornado sirens started going off. It was kind of wierd because like the sirens were going off, but nobody was really caring what was going on. People were driving right along and walking on the streets with no urgency in their step at all. Where we were wasn't like super bad, but we could see where the clouds were getting super dark and swirly haha. so we drive to the shelter and keep a watch and then about an hour later the clouds leave and it's sunny again. Some people claim to have seen a funnel start to appear and then go back up, and there was reports of a touch down out in the middle of no where (still in my area so that's kinda cool). So now I can officially say that I was around a tornado... kinda. But then the next day it started hailing for a bit, nothing like you might have seen on the news, but they were pretty big, and on the freeway they definitely made quite the sound!
But other then the crazy weather that we have had, this week has been super good! We got in contact with this kid Leo. He's 10 and so awesome! We took him to a baptism this week and he was so excited to watch it and then when we watched the confirmation as soon as they finished with the intro his eyes got super big and whispered "I want to get baptized!" He's a solid little kid! and we talked to his parents and they are super down and he has already made a bunch of friends in primary! Such a cool miracle! and his whole family wants to learn more! Topeka is the best!
This week we had stake conference, and it was super good. The stake president here is the best guy in the world. He was in my ward when I served here last and he has so much charity and his talks are always super good! There wasn't a huge common theme but they did have recent converts get up and bare their testimony and it was super cool to see the gospel in action. To see how happy it can make people and how good God is to give us such an amazing gift!
Love you mucho!
