24 Agosto & 1 Septiembre

I have combined 2 weeks worth of blog posts yet again because email time is SO SHORT. :)
     I started off my mass email from last week by saying this: Congratulations to Sister Bond (a teacher from the MTC). She's getting married tomorrow! :)  <<Now it has been a week lol
SHORT BLOG POST!
Tons of lightning storms! This has GOT to be a Gulf of Mexico thing, because the storms were never this constant or crazy in Miami Lakes or Sebastian! Heck, lighting almost struck our apartment last P-day! And for these last couple of nights, there have been these BEAUTIFUL, QUIET lightning storms happening way far away in the clouds! It looks like a delayed strobe light, and sometimes you can see the rays streaking across the sky. Very gorgeous especially at sunset! :)
   We met a nice Cuban couple and prayed with them. They had one of those little saucer, vacuum robots. How cool is that?!
  We also had ZONE CONFERENCE! That was so fun and we learned so much! Then we had a wonderful full-day exchange with the STLs.
  The Elders in our ward have had a couple of baptisms these last couple of weeks, so we're super excited about that!
   Oh, and we also found English chocolate biscuits and Birds Custard in the "foreign food" section at Publix, so that was fun for me! It felt like food from my childhood! :)
  I've been having some exciting dreams. All of them either have to do with missionaries & missionary work, or zombies. Sometimes both. It's pretty entertaining, actually! One night I had a dream that Elder Jeffrey R. Holland came out with us for an MPL, and he was just the coolest, most humble man! Also super sweet. We took a selfie with him in the dream, haha!
  As for this week, we've been having TONS of lightning storms and heavy rain (even though Tropical Storm Erica missed us, the weather has still been crazy). Heck, Sister Pankratz and I almost got struck by lightning when we were on splits!
   We're still on the watch for hurricanes, though. Hurricane season is still in full swing and anything could happen.
   Oh, also our car battery died one night and a nice Haitian man gave us a jump start. :) He was a cool guy!
    That is all I have to say for now. Talk to you next week!
