Emergency P-Day

As most of you know, there is a massive hurricane (Irma) that is heading directly towards Florida, and is projected to be absolutely devastating to many people. As of right now, the path of the storm is heading for our mission, so our mission president has been giving us updates on what to do and how to prepare. As for us in Enterprise, we are in the path, but it shouldn't be too strong when it hits us, so as of now (Saturday) we will be staying here but will receive more direction as time goes on. So, because the storm will be here on Monday/Tuesday we have today as P-day so that we can be prepared for the hurricane and to let y'all know whats going on.

This week, I definitely almost died a couple times... I was on an exchange with Elder Child in Geneva and we were doing service for a non-member by helping him move. The thing is, he only had an open trailer and no straps, so every time we put stuff in the trailer to be moved, I had to stand on the trailer to make sure that nothing fell over. During one of the trips, there was a massive dresser that was being blown my the wind (we were driving 45mph). I had to use all of my strength to make sure to that it didn't blow out into the road, there were a few times where the wind picked up and almost took the dresser, and me with it!

Also, on this exchange, Elder Child and I were trying to find people for to teach, so we went to talk to this guy in his yard, after 2 minutes a this pitbull came running out of nowhere and jumped up and bit me right in the ribs!!! Then he proceeded to attack my leg! Crazy thing about this though is that God seriously protected me so much! I don't know how to explain it but the bite to the ribs hardly did anything and when he attacked my leg, he was only able to tear up my pants! After the dog reached the end of the chain, Elder Child still taught the guy and ended up giving out a Book of Mormon hahaha! But long story short, the dog is now in quarantine to see if it has rabies and I am on some antibiotics to make sure that i don't get any infection from the dog.

Anywho, I am alive and well, for now... hahahaha! Thanks for everything guys, I love you lots!
