"Wet" Elders in Albany.

Water & rain seemed to be what Justin wanted to share in his last letter.  Elder Hanson & Elder Brimhall were heading out for appointment last Wednesday; he told us they were about 9 miles out and a mile to go; then caught in a  good ole' "Southern" downpour.  That once they start, it doesn't let up or stop anytime soon.  Justin says its was raining "Cats, Dogs  & Baptists," That they sought some shelter in the car wash for a while & realized it wasn't going to blow over; then took shelter in the walmart for a while before they figured out  that they were going to have to ride back to the apartment anyways.  Drenched to the core; fully soaked through backpacks & all clothing.  A shower & a change of dry clothes and off to there dinner appointment with some members.

Odd & Ends from last Email; waiting for the written update

Elder Brimhall did state he would send written update this week; Its Saturday morning & we are still waiting.  Maybe the postman will have news in the box later this afternoon.

Mission president allows music instruments in the mission; he encourages us missionaries to develop our talents.  It is kind of hard to lug a french horn around though.  LOL.  Most  of the instruments are small  flutes, ukes, guitars.

We have limited miles on the car, so we still bike allot to keep the fried foods in check, keep me in shape.   The humidity & heat sure affects how long the bread and vegetables last; allot shorter then back in Utah.

 Endured more flat tire adventure  12 miles out; did meet a few more people; hopefully potential investigators.

Our surprise for the week was at church; President & Sister Jensen showed up and they were are speakers.  We even had investigators in attendance that day.

"Running out of time; I'll send you a written updates & stories this week, "  -  Quote from Justin.  We will be waiting...
