Hey!
How are you all doing? How is life? I'm glad Sabrina survived homecoming. :) I'm also glad Jenessa survived it as well. I can't tell you both how happy I am that I'll be there for Prom. Then I'll actually be able to see you. Sabrina's pictures were absolutely adorable. I loved them.
This has been a kinda crazy week. Okay, its been a super crazy week. On Thursday we had interviews and we watched Meet the Mormons. I enjoyed Meet the Mormons. To anyone that hasn't seen it, I would highly recommend it. The beginning is very funny. :) I think my favorite part is when they are talking about drinking. The part with the Candy bomber made me cry. The guy from Nepal made me want to quit my day job and go to Nepal. Unfortunately I don't really have a day job at the moment, so I haven't been able to figure out how to quit it. The part about the missionary mom was FANTASTIC. It was absolutely fantastic. Validated just about everything we do as missionaries. I also liked the bishop one because he goes to Alabama. Take a good look at his sister's house. Totally looks like the ones in Birmingham. :) Good movie. Highly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about our faith. Not really a tool to bring people closer to Christ per se, but certainly a great introduction to the whole "mormons are normal people" idea.
That evening we went on exchanges in Madison. It was an absolutely incredible exchange. We worked hard all day and went to a Relief Society activity during the evening. Sister Brunner and I got into a water fight at the end of the evening. It was great until we noticed the other sisters sitting on the porch watching us. :) That was a bit awkward. Then we went inside, and the lights wouldn't turn on and we suddenly heard this wild growl. We screamed and bolted out the door. Just as I flew out I registered the faces of our zone leaders! :P In our bolting, we also bolted over to the car to get water bottles. We made sure they were plenty soaked by the time they left.
Friday we had district meeting and then we continued the exchange, but went to Cullman. I got to be with Sister McDougal this time, and it was absolutely incredible. She is such an amazing person. I can't believe how lucky I am to know her. I love her so much. It was nice because I think we both realized we are going to be friends for a lot longer than just the duration of our mission.
Saturday Sister Harris and I were finally together again, and we went contacting in the Oktober fest festivities. Had a great time looking at quilts and goats in strollers and gourds and all sorts of random stuff. Sunday it absolutely POURED- complete, total dumping all over Cullman. I swear I've never seen so much rain in my life. Or Thunder or lightening. It was absolutely crazy. The lightening nearly blinded me several times, and the thunder shook me several times. It was SO close and SO powerful. Tonight we are supposed to have the same storms... so we're going to try to get some proselyting done during the day so we can be inside when it gets to be a little on the dangerous side.
But if you could pray for us, that would be great!! I love you bunches. :) You are amazing. I am so grateful for everything you do to support me. Honestly, at the end of the day, no matter what happens on my mission I always know that my family loves me. And that is a great comfort. Especially when not everybody does. Thank you so much.
I love you bunches.
Love always,
Sister Pratt
