Since we got here to San Antonio one thing that me and Alex noticed was that our water smelled like chlorine, we thought it was weird but didn't put too much thought to it. Then we got a letter in the mail from a water filter company that said they would come and test our water for free. We figured it couldn't hurt to know exactly what was in our water, even if we didn't want the product, so we called them and they sent a really nice guy to come out and test it for us. What we learned was crazy. Our water had five times as much chlorine in it than they legally allow in swimming pools. Uck! Our water was off the charts of how hard it was, and that didn't even show what exactly what was in it. Needless to say that when he went into the Water filter/conditioner company he represented we were listening to everything. We ended up loving the whole basis the company was based on with pure water and biodegradable soaps and ended up buying the filter/conditioner. It wasn't too expensive either. Yay!! They came and installed it the next day. So we now have clean wonderful water!! We think that part of the reason our levels of chlorine was so high is because we have the water tower less than a quarter mile from our house and the tower is where they add all the chemicals. But we don't have to worry about it now!!

In other news, we had our first big thunder storm here a few days ago, it was crazy!! The rain was so heavy that we now understand why there are storm drains everywhere! The lighting was so bright it was blinding and the thunder made our lights flicker!! Big storm!!
Also we got a calling in church!! Me and Alex are team teaching the 9 year olds in primary!! We taught for the first time yesterday and I think it went well! We have a big group of kids, there are about 10 of them, but they are sweet and listen pretty well for only being 9. We hope and pray to be able to teach them something! Hope that everyone is doing well!! Love and miss you all!!
