life isn't picture perfect but we sure try

Yall what a blessed week it has been here in s-laughter town.
 
Updates on Elder Howe, he is a miracle, improving and recovering beyond belief. Truly Gods hand is in all of this. 
Updates here, we are still doing our finding thing! Trying to find people to teach and most especially to WATCH THE CHRISTMAS VIDEO WITH US!! 
The Christmas initiative this year is a Christmas countdown. 
25 days in 25 ways. 
Things to do everyday to come closer to Christ. Such an amazing message. 
 
But this week we had a ton of adventures so that equals a PICTURE LETTER!
tune in for the stories and miracles and adventures of the crew. 
 
day 1 adventure 1: unpaved roads. aka the beauty of s-laughter. aka all the roads in s-laughter
(so its actually not an adventure because it happens all the time. just documenting daily life)
 
good job gps
adventure 2: a broken bridge in the middle of nowhere adventure
This one was an actual adventure. wow. 
Pretty sure it was supposed to be washed out and un-drivable from the flood but it was safe! and beautiful
adventure 3: we went to mississippi!! the was no mississippi sign just the edge of our parish sign. 
but it was awesome. 
 
 
day 2 adventure 1: THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER (in louisiana)
part of our area backs up to the MS river. I had driven over it but haven't touched it yet. 
it was cool. in both meanings of the word.
louisiana. the pearl in my oyster of lyfe. #idkwhat
am i cool yet
adventure 2: exchanges with this beauty
I ADORE SISTER TONER. she is a light in my life and a huge example to me. She was my STL in the last 2 transfers when I was in Covington and she is my STL again and I have learned wonders from her. our exchange was a blessing for my soul. literally cant express how much she blesses & influences my life
 
we went to a rainy rainy rainy festival to contact. Handed out lots of #LighttheWorld cards and then went to get Lebanese lunch to warm up
 
WE HIT A DEER!!
 
day 3: so not cool. 
actually its more like a deer hit us. 
here is the narration from my incident report. 
driving down the highway when its dark. brights are on, see a deer on the left side of the road, slow down, deer gets scared and starts running after hesitation. hits the trucks drivers side rear & tail light. knocks tail light out but it still is connected and works. There is a large dent in the body of the car above & after the tire.
whats missing is that we are screaming our faces off when the deer starts running. #hatemylife
BEYOND THANKFULLY THOUGH, the deer ran off into the wilderness and we could not find it. i cannot think of the state I would be in if we had found the deer. 
10/10 would not do it again.
our feelings about it post freak out and calling our car dude and not finding the deer.
day 4 adventure 1: ztm
I love zone meetings. I wait for these for the whole week. I love missionaries.
Ugly sweater day
me and bbygirl + the ugliest sweater

these are the zone shirts Elder Howe designed and ordered before the accident. 
how cool is that. 
so happy to be apart of the Denham Springs zone and this little miracle.
