Mail Call!

Here's the latest from our little Eskimo...

Daddy,

I am feeling better now. I got a blessing on Friday and that helped tremendously. I should've gotten one on Wednesday after District Meeting though...Thanksgiving was not the most fun event of my life...being sick for holidays where you eat alot of food stinks...I didn't even have any pumpkin pie...*tear* Thanksgiving was fun though. We went over the the Allreds and they had the Beus's over too (two of the neatest families). So, we had thanksgiving with the Allreds and their 10 kids who still live at home and then the Beus's and their 4 kids who are still home - it was way fun. We stayed there all day because I didn't feel like moving around enough to go visit other people.

We have Thanksgiving again this week on Wednesday with our recent convert and her family. She just got baptized (and married first) on Saturday. Her husband and step son were baptized several years ago but, they've been less active until just recently.

I love you!

Love,
'chelle

Mail Call!

Here's the latest from Michelle. It's short and sweet, like her! :)

Daddy,

The Iditarod thing was pretty cool. I don't know how specifically we got involved - I think it's something the missionaries help out with every year. Yay Missions!

It is a really small world. The Allreds in my ward used to live in Puyallup (like 6 or so years a go) and one of their 24 year old sons (he's a twin) had his first job at the Super Mall too. :D Yay Super Mall!

Well, if you're working have fun in the rain - at least it's not snow. We've had snow off and on since Saturday afternoon.

Well, we're gonna head out and shop before Bloodsport and Deathball. Love ya!

Love,

Mail Call!

Here's the latest. I received this on Monday.

Daddy,

I'm glad you liked the pictures...I'll probably send more home in awhile. We helped twice with the Iditarod - the pictures you see are from the 2nd time when we were trail guards. Sister Sloan and I stood at one end of a tunnel and yelled "team" to the Elders at the other end so they could clear the trail for the teams. :D It was pretty cool. :D

It's mostly just been cold, windy and clear. We have had some snow but, not a whole lot...we've got a few spots that look frosty....but that's about it.

I am having the time of my life! :D MISSIONS ROCK! :D We played Bloodsport and Deathball for Halloween - it was super fun...except that I jammed my finger...but I'm good. Speaking of injuries...they stabbed me with a needle today...a.k.a. I got a flu shot...argh...not exactly how I wanted to start my Pday...

Well, gotta go...not much room here at the library!

Love ya!
