Hello! How have you all been this week? Things have been good here. There really hasn't been anything too exciting happening around here. I haven't gotten a letter from you all for about 2 1/2 weeks, so I'm not too up to date on what's going on there.
I got a wedding announcement from Kristy Wilde Beck this week. It was cool to hear from her.
Wow, there really isn't much to write about. Things are going alright between Sister Tolman and I. We are learning to understand each other and get to know each other better. She likes to complain a lot and it was getting us both down, so we talked about it and came up with a little game to overcome this. Every time either one of us complains or has a negative thought or thinks about home, we have to pick up a stone. We keep these stones in a little bag. We carry these with us and the only way to get rid of our stones is to do some act of service or some kind deed for either each other or someone else. This has really helped in the last couple of days and I hope it will continue to help. Sister Tolman has been so much happier since we have started this.
Hey Mike, I've got someone I want to set you up with! Do you have a girl friend? Well, this girl's name is Claudia Snijder. She is a member of this ward. She is 17 and she is a model. She is very pretty, but she's not snobby at all. She is coming out to Utah after she graduates (matriculates). Matriculation is in December here, so it will be after December this year. Anyhow, I want you to write to her. I haven't talked to her about it yet, but I will and then let you know. Write to me and let me know what you think! :) (What can I say, playing cupid is just a part of my personality! :))
I'm getting a perm today. I was just going to let my hair go straight, but it's just getting too long and takes too long to blow it out straight. It will just be easier with the humidity. I'm just scared to go to someone else besides Angie!
I broke my retainer yesterday. I put it in my backpack during a dinner appointment yesterday and they got smushed. But it is still wearable. I'm going to fax home to you about it today.
Right now we are that the church for what they call Berea Ball. Some of the missionaries get together on P-day and play basketball and volleyball. Right now 3 of the Elders that are going home this month are talking about their flight plans. They are talking about how their first things to do are hit Taco Bell and 7-Eleven. It's just quite funny to listen to them. It's so strange to hear people talk about going home. It's so long off for me. It's weird, but I know that the time will fly. It's already flying past for me.
A little trivia for you about SA. They are always trying to create jobs for people. A new job I discovered today is that when the garbage trucks go around they have extra men walking the streets putting the garbage bags in organized piles so it's easier for the other 2 men to throw it into the truck. I was laughing.
One thing I hate about mission is the Elder attitude towards the Sisters. They are all pretty cool to me, but sometimes they rip pretty hard on my companion and they sometimes act like they only talk to us because they have to. It's pretty lame.
Anyhow, sorry to end on a negative note. I do love being a missionary. T's the best! I love you all!
Love,
Michelle :)
This was the perm that I got that day. I loved the perm, but soon realized that they completely burned my hair. A lot of it fell out and it eventually got all dried and brittle :(
