Another Monday, another P-day! Hooray! The weeks are going by quickly! It's insane.
The weeks go by so quickly, that it's hard to remember what to write about in my letter.
A cool thing was that we went on exchanges and I got to be with my Sister Training Leader, Sister Penrod, and it was so neat, we were going to try some people and she saw a lady walk out to get her mail and she felt we needed to go talk to her. So we went up and she was in her garage and we started talking to her, telling her about the Restoration and the blessings that come from it, and she started to cry. She then told us that her sister had died a couple of months previously and she was just looking at pictures of her in the garage, and she said that she has been doing a lot of soul searching and that she had been trying things on her own and that nothing was working, and so it was a miracle that we came up to her and started talking to her. She said she needed the help of someone else and that it was a blessing we showed up. WOW! MIRACLE! Moments like that strengthen my testimony that we are doing good work and that the Lord has prepared people for us to teach. Every day I write down what happened that day that I was grateful for and what of God's grace we saw. I know that He is in every day. We just have to look for Him and recognize all that He does for us. It's miraculous! That was in the area that Sister Penrod is in, so I'll have to hear how that goes when she goes back to teach her more.
Also on exchanges! I was able to talk to a lady from Brasil! She was from Sao Paulo and we were able to talk. She said that she was so impressed that I had learned Portuguese in 6 weeks and that that was a year ago! I couldn't believe it either! It was a challenge, I had to concentrate real hard, but I got it, and we were able to talk. It was really neat (:
It's been real stormy here! Like really intense. Rain pouring down, constant lightning, and really loud thunder. Like really down. Cracking thunder. It's so intense! Storms are crazy over here! It's exciting, I love rain storms. The only down fall is that as a missionary you're required to be out in it. Then it's not so fun being rained on and soaking wet. haha! But it's exciting (: We went running one morning and it just poured down, it was fun to run in the rain.
We had dinner with the bishop and his family last night. It's neat being the missionary. Because I remember the missionaries coming over to our house when Dad was bishop, and now I'm on the other side. It's cool (: The bishop and his family are hilarious! We were cracking up and having a good time. It's always enjoyable when you can be with a family and feel comfortable and happy.
That's about it. Oh wait! Just kidding. We found out that the mission is going to a Cincinnati Red's Game in 2 weeks! Woo hoo! That is going to be fun! (: We're going on September 8. I can't wait! I'm excited to see all the missionaries! Especially Sister Sofele! AH! Miss her SO much. It's weird being in a zone without her. She sent me a letter last week saying I better be going because she wants to see me. Haha. It's gonna be great!
Mom! I got your package today. Oh my gosh! Hilarious! I unfolded the shirt and just started cracking up! Bahahah! I love it! You're too funny (: Thank you so much. It's a great 1 year mark gift.
I'm glad that you got my boxes! I always worry that they get lost or don't make it.
Hope everything is going well. I love you a lot! You're my favorite!
Love you,
Sister Clara Kay Dunn.

Supporting Brasil on my Zone Fun Day last week (:
Love this! I love our Heavenly Father.
I've been messing with the camera, and it's so pretty out here. So lots of landscapes of Indiana!
The car we drive! We lucked out and have a jeep!
Taking pictures in the corn. hahah!
I was SO afraid of bugs. There are crazy big spiders in there. And I somehow got myself to go into the corn. I was freaking out, and this picture shows it. Haha!
Sister Armstrong and I.
Soy Beans
More Soy Beans
Driving along.
Mr. Robot on our dashboard. Haha (:
Me, Sister Armstrong, Sister Porter (President Porter's niece, crazy I know), and Sister Penrod (my STL).
Exchanges! Haha. Finding things to sleep on. I got to sleep on the couch. Yep, the ones from the church building. Hooray for missionary furniture! Haha.
Saw this at the library and got excited. Hah! I miss recycling.
My new shirt! Hahaha! I LOVE it! You're hilarious (:
