Well, here we are again. The weeks keep going by faster and faster. I realized yesterday that I'm about a week away from completeing 16 months in the mission. I don't know about you, but to me it feels more like a combination of 16 days and 16 years. But at least I accept it. One of the zone leaders here, Elder Cowdin, has more than 18 months in the mission. When somebody asks him how long he's been in the mission, he always says, "A bit more than a year." We always make fun of him when he does that.
As far as news goes, it apears that God has been pouring out his water on Utah and Mexico recently. Dad said something about a big rainstorm on Friday. We also got a pretty good one Friday night. I'd say it's one of the worst storms I've seen in my life. In the middle we got some marble sized hail, and all in all it lasted almost two hours. We also got a lightning bolt that hit within our block if I'm not mistaken. We were all pretty sure that we were going to lose power, but surprisingly enough we didn't. We were pretty lucky though, it started raining about 9:30, so we escaped it this time. So, it could be worse I guess.
Other than that, things are more or less the same. We had a guided tour of the church on Wednesday with a new investigator named Martin. It went pretty good. He seems pretty interested and has been reading the Book of Mormon. He's a few chapters in now from what he says, so that's pretty good. The only problem is that he works every day of the week. But we've taught him about the importance of attending church, and he's said he wants to come. So, we'll see what comes of him. Other than that, everybody else is about the same.
I guess that's about it for me this week. Sorry it's a kind of short one this week. It sounds like you guys have a pretty fun trip planned this weekend, so I hope that goes well. I also hope you don't drown, although you may need to go to the bathroom a lot.
I love you, and I'll write you next week.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
