We received word from the area office that a huge typhoon was coming our way and that it would be a good idea to inform the missionaries all over the mission that they were to stay in their apartments as the weather turned bad in their area. Gary got the bright idea to make caramel corn and deliver it to all the missionaries in the Sendai area since we knew they would be home. We made big bags for 5 different apartments, attached a "love note" to them and set out into the storm to deliver them.
This picture of the typhoon doesn't look like much but ~trust me~it was really raining and windy. We perservered to the first apartment in Tagajo and delivered the popcorn to our two cute sisters there. Next to the Izumi Elders but when we got there, we found that they were stranded in Furukawa for the night where they had been doing splits during the day. No delivery there! We moved on to the Kamisugi Sisters but had a hard time finding their apartment. By now, we had been out in the typhoon for 2 1/2 hours and the streets were flooding and some were even closing because the drainage system couldn't handle all the water. We decided we should just go home~only having delivered one bag of popcorn. CRAZY!!

That is sooooo cute! Funny story-- I'm a tiny bit sad all those other missionaries missed out on all that yumminess. You guys are great mission presidents.
