Armageddon

This week was so amazing!!!! And crazy. In Missouri it doesn't just rain. It downpours and in the same day it is the brightest day we have all week! That joke we always have of Utah always changing the weather..... nope. "That is a lie Steven. Utah has no weather problems, it gives us no nutrients!" (slight quote from Nacho Libre.... I paraphrased a bit...) 

and yes okay fam, the moment you have all be waiting for, WE SAW THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN COMPLETE TOTALITY !!! probably the coolest thing of my life. It was amazing, spiritual side to all of this: President Love changed all of our Pdays to Tuesday because there were so many people visiting the area that we could be out talking to. Sis Bishop and I thought this was sweet but were praying hardcore where The Lord wanted us to be, also we don't really know our area that way, so the struggle!! But after praying we felt that we needed to go to the temple and watch it, but felt kind of silly because there would probably only be members there. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THE LORD CONSECRATES OUR EFFORTS, every single person we talked to were nonmembers!!!! What are the odds! And we got to share the gospel with each of them and wow it was just such a cool experience, the people we spent the most time with gave us cookies and water and they even took a picture of us for a souvenir of being in Missouri during the eclipse! It was so amazing! This church is so true! And then the elders showed up and turns out they basically had done the same thing as us and we all just saw so many miracles of being missionaries first and eclipse watchers second :)

Also another miracle story of the eclipse. Since Missouri rains everyday it decided to rain down ARMAGEDDON and storm. This was the morning of the eclipse and it was so scary. And literally all of us were praying that we would see the eclipse, if not for us... at least for the people who dropped everything to come here for one day and see it!!!! And all of a sudden. the storm ceased, the sun was shining the tank was clean and we were gonna see the moon cover the Sun!!! WOOP WOOP! And we did! And right exactly when it hit totality less than a minute later clouds were completely covering it up and the storms hit again and it was one of the biggest storms I have seen in Missouri!! Literally miracles from heaven! They are real!!

But I love you all! Hope you got to see the eclipse too :)
