Hurricane Barry

HELLO. So there's a hurricane and stuff. The death toll hit about 3,000 the other day. It's been wild. But anyways it's been fine here. JK haha nobody has died. It's just a tropical storm. 

They evacuated a bunch of zones so we got to have 4 elders from New Orleans in our apartment. That was actually really fun. We got to visit a bunch of members this week and it's been awesome. We had steaks at the Bishops house and they gave me a huge steak. Probably a few pounds or something. But I ate it haha. We got to teach a guy named charles who is super legit. We gave him a pamphlet like when i first got here and he told us like the entire restoration with Joseph Smith. We thought he was gonna give us anti but he told us like the actual restoration based on what he knew. So he was really cool. We'll have to try to convince him to change. When the New Orleans elders came over, we went and ate at canes. Then after that we drove by the temple baptist church. It's huge. They teach a lot of anti so they're punks but. Yep. We had a zone conference. We took 2 priests and the New Orleans elders too. It was pretty sweet. We talked about how we always have joy through christ. But we don't always have happiness. So joy and happiness are different. Such as: If someone you know who was very sick died, you would have joy because of the gospel, but you would be sad because they died and stuff. I gave a talk on Sunday. I got quite a few compliments hehehe. But I basically just told my farewell talk but shook it up a bit. So that was cool. We thought church was going to be cancelled because of the storm. But we got it. But uhhhh. That's about it. This week has felt like an eternity. Time has been super weird. Like fast and slow then fast and back to slow. So yeah. We're at the library again so I'll just send another email with pictures. So uhhh. Yep. Gotta Blast.
