Flood?

We brought muggy California home with us. On Sunday night about 9:00 we heard the rain and lots of noise. When we looked out, we saw water--Lots of water going down the draw behind the house. When I say lots of water I mean 2 foot deep and 100 feet wide. It was a local cloud burst. We were glad that we lived on the top of the hill!

They tell us that it rained everyday that we were gone and it hasn't missed a day since we've been back. Most people can't remember it doing this ever before. The goat heads have sprung up over night looking better than they have ever looked. So that means that we have to get to work so they don't take over the farm.

Dad is reading in Alma chapter 4:19 where Alma the younger has given up the chief judgeship and is going out to bear down with pure testimony. He looked up in the topical guide and was quite interested in the references about testimony. It would be quite the thing if as members of the Church or even members of our family "flooded" our friends and neighbors with our testimony of the Book of Mormon. In the topical guide under Book of Mormon there are some great references. Dad and I are now studying chapter 5 in Preach My Gospel on The Book of Mormon. Let me know what you are doing. We love you all. We had a great time in California and are looking forward to a trip to Georgia in December.
Love,
Mom
