Swimming without being in a pool

So this week was interesting there was a lot of biking and walking…and yesterday at church I looked down and it turns out one of my legs is bigger than the other… so that was kind of weird.. that’s my random thought for today haha
            O the story of the week! On Saturday we got up and went to the house we have been building and they had told us it only going to be a meeting so we came in our normal clothing (white shirt, tie dress pants and shoes) and the meeting only lasted about 10 minutes then we started shoveling rocks, which lasted for about 4 hours J o and it was about 95 plus how ever humid it was. By the time we got home (we had to bike) and cleaned up I looked at my shirt and it was really yellow, it was way funny and I was thinking of sending it home just for fun, but then I decided that might not be the best idea.
            After cleaning up we had our studies and as we where discussing each others studies we could hear a little thunder but it was still really sunny so we decide to go and try to talk to the Gaddy's whose phone number wasn’t working any more. As we left (walking) it was just drizzling but it was still to hot for our rain coats so we just brought our umbrellas, well this little drizzle turns into a really bad thunder storm, with hail and all that good stuff… Elder Butts and I were swimming without being in a pool, except for my head because of my umbrella J The thunder got really bad as this cop passes us on main street and a lightning bolt strikes right over our heads. It was so loud that Elder Butts made the commit that he thought he was dead. The cop stops and offer us a ride. We decided to keep on going to the Gaddy's even though they are both girls so we knew we wouldn’t be able to go into their house out of the rain and as we pull up (and you should have seen everyone looking out of there homes at us get out of this police car haha it was really funny) they were home but the boy friend was, so he let us in and in a little while one of them gets home and needs to go pick up her child from Durham, so we got the new number and then they give us a ride home…
Tender mercies!  I know the lord looks out for his missionaries.
This rain storm rained as much as a monsoon but a lot longer and the lightning was so crazy like it would strike really really close and just kind of hang in the air for a few seconds it was GREAT!!!
 Well I love you all and stay safe! And remember that god is good the church is true and people are crazy... haha that’s just truer every day.
P.S if you go onto mormon.org  and search “maughanstar” my profile will come up so I invite you to and check it out J
