10 Months

Hey everyone what is going on?

Well I officially hit my 10 month mark this last week, its nuts how fast time  goes by. Next transfer I will hit my year mark!

This week we have had a lot of good service opportunities. The first one that we had was bagging sand for the flooding that is happening a little bit in Stevensville because of all the rain we have been getting. It was a super good time. We were there with a bunch of Cajuns and we got some super interesting stories and advice told to us, ha ha most of it I probably shouldn’t share over email; but that is what happens in the south I guess. But anyways it was super entertaining and fun. Oh and I don’t know if I told y’all this, but our mission has gotten permission to become members of the Red Cross so that we can get more service opportunities. It was thanks to the Red Cross that we were able to do this service.

The second service we had also had to do with flooding..... in our apartment complex. Ha ha so what happened is we woke up this last Saturday to a super annoying beeping that was coming from our living room. We walk out of the bed room and step into our hallway and step right into a puddle of water. Turns out that our living room rug was completely soaked with water and there was a deep puddle of water next to our door and right next to the kitchen counter. We look outside and see that there is water seeping from our neighbor’s apartment into the street and that our neighbor is gone to his work. We call our apartment manager and he tells us he will be there in a bit. Then we start pulling out all of our stuff that is wet, and setting it out to dry and start mopping up the water. But even after we got it all up, water kept seeping under the wall into our apartment. When the manager got there, he unlocked the neighbors apt and we find that there is an inch of standing water in his whole apt. So we clean that up and turn off the water heater that had been giving off all the water. When our neighbor showed up we all had to rip up a lot of his carpet since it was completely soaked. It was kind of a crappy situation for him and us, but we got the opportunity to finally meet him and our apt manager; and to do some service so that was fun. 

I hope y’all are having an awesome summer!
