It's 70 degrees, and we have all the sun you could ever want
down here. Most of the time, at least. I think if I ever live down here
I'm going to get a duck car- one that can cross rivers- because every
once in a while we have amazing torrential downpours.
Monday night we got the most incredible storm. It came out of
nowhere and poured down in torrents. Mike W. our team and most
amazing member, was driving us around during that and we couldn't see
through the window except a little after the windshield wipers did their
wiping. It was awesome! And the lightning! Oh, I wish I could just send
you some, it was so awesome.
And yesterday, we got another one. It rained a lot Saturday night
and we hoped it would be done, but it wasn't. We got out to go tracting
and there was a light drizzle, so we took our raincoats and umbrellas
and went a-walking for to preach the word. We got to our first street
and we were a little wet. (It was a beautiful road, by the way. The
forest just grows everywhere in Charlotte, and you know how beautiful a
forest is during a rainstorm) so we tracted it, and then walked through
the little forest twice more (I got us turned around and we had to go
back. Oh, and we saw a lake in the little forest too.) And then we
were wet. But we were diligent and didn't go in. No, we walked another
mile and a half to our next road, and my companion has the brilliant
Idea of saying "Is this all you can do? That's pathetic, rain! Do your
worst! I can take it!" So of course it did. We were making soup in our shoes on the way
home. I poured a quarter cup of water out of my shoes when we got home
and just threw everything I was wearing into the dryer. Thank goodness
for electric dryers.
John and Melinda are progressing. Still waiting though. We're teaching Liz this week.
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Joshua Brown
