Sister Rice's Mission Journey

Hey Everyone! This has been a crazy week and i am so excited to tell
you all about it! So here's this weeks Top 5:)

1. I SAW FIREFLIES!!!! Oh my lanta fireflies are the coolest thing of
my life! One night we were outside talking with some investigators and
i saw a little flash of light and was like what was that? and they
were like oh yeah the fireflies are out now. Then all the sudden there
were like 20 of them all lighting up all over the yard and i flipped
out like a kid in Disneyland! Seriously, they were like Where are you
from that doesn't have fireflies? Utah. Not cool. So yeah. Fireflies
are definitely the coolest!! I almost makes this INSANE humidity
ok...Almost. The humidity here is the worst thing i have ever
experienced. I miss dry heat sooooooo much! Humidity is no bueno.

2.So the other day we were in Zone Conference in Nauvoo and had some
missionaries from Nauvoo train us on what we are gonna do for pageant
and lo and behold one of the missionaries there was Mattie Nelson, my
friend from jr. high! We saw eachother and were like, wait is that? oh
my lanta it is! So we ran to eachother and hugged and did the whole
YOURE ON A MISSION?! NO WAY I CANT BELIEVE IT! OH WOW ITS BEEN
FOREVER! thing. I was so cool to see her! We haven't hung out since
Jr. High. It was fun.

3.The same night that i saw fireflies i saw a dog get hit by a car! It
was awful! We were outside talking to investigators at a members house
and the member let her dogs in the garage but didn't realize that the
garage door was open and they live across the street from a park so
her 2 dogs bolt for the park and one is in the street and we see a car
coming so were all yelling at the dog but its too late. This car comes
and hits the dog and it starts making this awful screaming sound and
we run to the dog and its leg is bent weird. Well the investigator
lady got to the dog first and she holds him and starts praying out
loud. After she is done the dog gets up and walks like nothing
happened! So crazy we were like woah she just healed a dog! Faith man,
you can do anything! Anywho they took the dog to the vet anyways and
it is totally fine! So crazy! I hope i never see a dog get hit again
cause it was terrible!!

4. So Hermana Smoot's Stake President was in Nauvoo and he got
permission to take her and i out to lunch so we did and it was great!
We went to the temple that morning and did initiatories and then met
up and went to lunch. It was a super fun afternoon!

5. The night before Zone Conference we had two sisters that are
serving in Clinton come and spend the night so they didn't have to
drive so much in the morning. So that night was like a fun little
sleepover. We were doing nails and just laughing and having a great
time and then one of the sisters had to pee but she had wet nails so
she couldn't so i said thats why we Pee Before We Paint and she
started laughing even harder and then she farted and laughed even
harder and then she peed her pants! It was so funny and she was like
yeah this happens to me a lot! My lanta it was a crazy fun night!!

BONUS ADVENTURE: The other night we had a freak lightning storm! There
was absolutely NO thunder, only tons and tons of lightning!! It was
scary! So we called our District Leader and we like Is the Messiah
coming???!! Should we prepare for the Second Coming?!?! He laughed and
was like no this is normal for around these parts! So freaky! Then
later the thunder and pouring rain came and we were happy again!

That all! Love and miss you all!!! Until next time....xoxoxo Hermana Rice
