Well to me I thought it was an ambulance sirens cause I&#8217;ve never heard a tornado siren before and I never saw them around the city! But little did I know that tornados aren&#8217;t a seasonal thing&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>So about 5 minutes later it starts down pouring like crazy!! We had a member take us home and on the ride home we got a text saying we were in a tornado warning! It was pretty legit to be honest, i was just happy we finally got rain longer than 5 minutes! I&#8217;ve started to learn to be careful for what I wish for&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dakotajsummers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/image3-2016-12-04.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dakotajsummers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/image3-2016-12-04-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dakotajsummers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/image3-2016-12-04-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/dakotajsummers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/image3-2016-12-04-768x1028.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dakotajsummers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/image3-2016-12-04-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/dakotajsummers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/image3-2016-12-04-610x817.jpg 610w, https:\/\/dakotajsummers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/image3-2016-12-04.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a>It&#8217;s been raining so much now and it&#8217;s kind of annoying!  On Sunday we had 6 of our investigators show up to church!! Which was super awesome!! Last night we went over to the Brazeal family&#8217;s house to watch the Christmas devotional with them! We ate dinner before and we decided to try something new. <\/p>\n<p>Patrick was going to make a root beer float with strawberry ice cream, but I jokingly told him to use Mt. Dew. He ended up saying it was a great idea and decided to do it, I felt bad for him so I joined in.
