Here's the latest from Michelle. Short, but sweet.

Daddy,

Your first snow, eh? Way good. We haven't had any fresh stuff in awhile. We still have some on the ground but, it's all crunchy and frozen. Lately (lately being yesterday and today) we've had some crazy wicked winds. It was 20 degrees out last night but, we figured with the windchill factor it's probably closer to -20...brr! We tried tracting for like 20 minutes yesterday and almost got blown over..lol.

I'm glad you got the package...it was lots of fun to make those tapes...I've got another one that's almost ready to send.

Well, I've got to go...a student needs the computer here at the library. I love you! Have a great day!

Love,
'chelle

Voices from the past...

This is exciting! I received two audio tapes from Michelle. They were recorded between November '06 and September '07. They are really fun to listen to. They are kind of a recorded journal, plus several other events she has been involved in.

Until I figure out how to get them on the website, anyone is welcome to come over and listen to them. It's great fun!

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

Christmas Package

Hi everyone. I'm getting a package together to send to Michelle for her Mission Christmas Party. I'll be sending it by the end of November. If anyone wants to include cards, letters or small gifts, just drop them by and I'll include them in the box. Thanks!

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!

Okay everyone. I've created some new photo albums! Just click on the "Mission Photos" link on the right. There are four new albums. People, Things and Events, Places, & Scenery. There are very few duplicates between albums, so be sure to check them all out.

We've Got Pictures!!!

I finally received Michelle's camera card! I'll upload the pictures in the next day or two. YAY!! :)
