Popsy!
I'm so glad to have gotten an email from you! I'm glad you kids had fun at the Hartman's. It's hard not to! You guys are going to have to send pictures of everyone dressed up. I bet the kids were really cute! And sounds like the pool is set up for a nice hibernation for the winter. That's interesting about Nolan. I can just imagine looking out the window and thinking, "A wizard! Aghh!"
Things are going well in New Jersey. This is a tough business being a missionary. I can't imagine having to learn a different language and alphabet to boot! But I'm learning to rely a lot more on the Lord, and that's helped. I'm actually really enjoying all this. Especially the people. If I had been sent anywhere else I wouldn't have ever met the crazy people who live in New Jersey, and I love them. And it makes me excited for when I come home in a year and a half. Not to be leaving them, but to reach out more to people in general and spend more time caring than being on the computer or what have you. Everyone just needs someone to listen. So good for you, Pops, for listening to Nolan and being a good friend and example. I'm so grateful for what we know as members of the Church. I love our family. Thank you, Pops, for being my dad. I love you so much. I've got the best parents in the world.
I love you,
Sister Mister
