Editors note: When Sister Monson was called to Washington Tacoma Mission she was so thrilled because she loves rain and could buy her "Hunter" rain-boots and leave her hair curly. So you can just see her knocking on doors in a Typhoon and loving every minute of it! See pictures below...
Whenever I would wear my
boots at home my Daddy would call me "Boots McKinzie" which doesn't
really make much sense because my name isn't McKinzie, but I do like
boots!
This
week it started raining... and raining and raining and raining. My rain jacket
and boots seem to be glued to me because it rains so much that I never take
them off! On Thursday it rained so hard that even the pockets of my raincoat
were sopping wet, it was truly incredible. And no one here believes in
umbrellas! What? Apparently that's how they know you're not from here! Crazy!
On
Friday we were at a ward party and the members were so concerned about our
safety, we were so confused until we were shown a weather report of a TYPHOON coming
directly to the Wa-Tac! This made us SUPER worried, but also ridiculously
excited! The worst of the storm was supposed to hit while we are required to go
knocking, from 5-7.
So
we rain-proofed everything, our pass along cards were
in baggies, our Book of Mormons were in baggies, we wore our boots, coats and
waterproof bags, everything was safe from this storm. When it hit we were going
to be prepared.
So Saturday night rolls around
and our dinner appointment is super scared for our safety, and they tried to
urge us to stay inside, but there was no stopping us from going out to find,
unless we were told not to, we were going. So we pulled on all our gear made sure our car was safe and
headed out.... and nothing happened. A little wind, and a little rain, and a
whole bunch of terrified people, but nothing else happened!
Boots
McKinzie is always ready to battle a storm, but apparently the storm wasn't
ready to battle with her! Another day, I guess! Stay tuned for the many
adventures of Boots McKinzie and her sidekick, Weatherproof Webb!
All
my love,
