It has rained every day for the last month. Sometimes it rains all day and then sometimes it is just at night. And it rains HARD. I've never seen it rain so hard actually. Last night Calvin and I were skyping with my family and I kept telling them how hard it was raining. And then Calvin got up and look at the doorway and he could tell that water was coming in. He then opened the door and started screaming...I went and looked and there was 4 or 5 inches of water in our house! Jeremi and Rebecca were out of town so it was just us in the house. It was still raining really hard but we ran over to get some of the students and the employees to help us out. We were outside for like a minute and we were soaking wet. It took a couple of hours to get all of the water out of the house. Luckily we only have 3 carpeted rooms and the water probably only got about 3 feet into each of them and then the rest of the house is tile. It was crazy though, I'd never seen anything like it. We were lucky that it didn't happen the night before because we wouldn't have been there and every room would've been flooded and there are alot of things on the ground. While we were getting the water out of our house the bishop called and said that there were a ton of people in the ward that had called cause their houses were flooding. So all of the students went and just helped a bunch of people. I will post pictures later but they said that they had water up to their waists in a lot of the houses. We kinda live on a hill/close to a big mountain thing. And the students were saying that the water picked a bunch of the cars up and they ran into businesses and houses. It was pretty bad. It was quite the adventure. One of the employees is now calling us "Jack and Rose" off of the Titanic. Our hearts will go on.
You can kind of get an idea of how much water was in the house
Adrian and Lalo were splashing eachother
We would get the water to Lalo then he would sweep it out of the house
Adrian is so very focused
