Missy's August 18th email & travel plans

Hey Y'all!

Well, we had fun last week at the zoo. It was a pretty small zoo, but it had lions and giraffes and active monkeys and so I was pretty happy. This week has been good. It's been a little cooler and rainy. I guess we are in a really bad drought right now. I couldn't tell. There is still water everywhere and it rains every so often. I guess the lakes are low. I have been really grateful for the cooler weather.

School starts this week! Yippee!!! It has been like a ghost town lately and so we haven't been able to find many people. This week we are going to find a ton. We have this new investigator named Dave. I don't know if he will go anywhere, but we do have some interesting conversations.

So, funny story. Last night we were leaving an investigator's apartment (the Brazilian one) and he lives on the second floor with a wood deck/porch thing leading up to his door. Well, when we left Sister Israelsen was walking in front of me when all the sudden she fell. I though she stumbled or something until I got closer and saw that there was a hole in the floor and she was sitting there with her leg though it. When she stepped on a certain board it gave way and because she is so tiny her whole leg all the way up to her hip fell though. After we figured out that nothing was broken and the only damage was some scratches and soon to be serious bruising we had a good laugh. In fact we laughed all the rest of the night and we are still laughing now. I am laughing writing this. Maybe it's one of those "you had to be there" jokes, but it was such a funny sight. Our poor investigator felt really bad and couldn't figure out why we were laughing so much.

Anyways, things are going good, I'm excited for things to speed up again. Today we are going to tour downtown Clemson and go on campus a bit. It should be fun.

I love y'all!
