"And I need shelves built into
your old closet for my fabric crates and then I'll be setting up my
sewing room." - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO x100
Hi Mom!!
you can see what part of your letter caught my eye the most.
The house looks great! i know why you waited for me to leave now! things would be broken very quickly.
Im so proud of you for graduating soon! thats so exciting! you should get a giant cut out of me for the party ,so im like there, but not. Have you contacted Clayton's mom about working at Kaiser?
You and your mini look good together. Nick calls it your happy box, or somthing like that. So we have this crazy catapillary problem here in MAss. they are EVERYWHERE. like a bazillion of them, no jok.e its nasty, but kinda funny when you see one of them fly onto somebodys head (they swing down the long strands of silk, or whatever). its funny, but nasty at the same time. Its like 90 degrees here, but 40 last week, so the weather is very humid and random. I love it!
So we have an issue with mail we believe. let me explain... Here is a diagrom of our front porch
[1] [2] [3] <--- doors
there are like 3 homes in 1 house (if that makes sense), so mail boxes must have names on them to get mail.
1. we live here (left rear)
2. landlord
3. some other person
somehow, the mail people interpret left rear as door 3... still working on that one, but we arnt sure how reliable our mail is. its been quite a problem.
We have slept outside the past few times because its so hot int he appartment, and the A/C machines smell like mold... its stick, but itll be better soon i hope.
Im sorry our house isnt the party house anymore. i guess its cause im gone.... ::laugh::....
Im loving the mission. things are going great. this past week we set Baptismal dates with Sue, and with Autumn!!! that makes 3!!! the Lord has blessed us with success. its crazy how opportunities to teach and such, are kinda floating in the air in front of us, as if the Lord is dangling it there for us missionaries to take and work with! its amazing! We had a great memorial day, and ended it with a bbq at an inactive families home. The kids were slip n sliding, and wernt exactly warm to us. that is, until we went slip n sliding in full proselyting clothing lol. im sure Elder Pabst will send u a pic. it was fun. then we played baseball, and ate hot dogs!! it was good times. The other day we also did Ear Candling. does that ring a bell at all? its weird, look it up on the interenet. its some strange hippy thing. it was cool though. somthing missionaries would do,right?
alright, i gotta run. i love you all, and miss you all. The Lord's work is the best thing ever, and time is flying by waaay too fast. I pray for you all every night. take care. Search Ponder and Pray and the mysteries of teh universe shall be unfolded before you! Alma 13!!!
