July Week 4

Hey there everyone! Well its now Monday again and its been another week here in the HOT state of Arizona... So, for the week I may as well tell you about the monsoons that happen down here. During the hottest part of the summer it begins to rain... now this is not your average rain storm. During the hotter days if all its doing is sprinkling, you can watch the rain fall and it never actually touches the ground. its quite literally so hot that it evaporates before it can touch the ground.... After it finally cools down, it will begin to touch the ground.... and thats if its just sprinkling.... So when it really rains, it will start by just sprinkling a little and then as the storm moves in, it gets progressively harder and then it down pours for about an hour or two and then it lets up and it gets all sunny again... there are places of the road that actually close down because of how much it rains and then how much water is moving... they don't have washes here for nothing.... its pretty amazing to see how much water moves through the world here when it monsoons.... So there you go... another little part of the Arizona weather here... by the way... I didn't know this until recently but the sunsets that happen here are so beautiful because of the dust in the air... there is so much that at night sometimes if it has been blowing really hard, it looks like the frost that hangs in the air right before it snows back home... its the most odd thing I have ever experienced... I saw the dust in the air and thought for a moment "oh its about to snow... cool!" and then my body realized the temperature was about 75 or 80 degrees outside and wow... I felt totally out of place... ugh... Well there's my story for the week and I'm sticking to it! Hope you all have a great week! Elder Klynton Frederick
