Letter from 7-29-13

Okay, so the night before I left for the MTC, I was sleeping in Kayli's room and she had Beauty and the Beast music playing. Now I've had those songs stuck in my head since! We (Sister Anders on and I, I forgot to tell you about this earlier) even made a Holdrege/Beauty and the Beast song parody! 

Little town, it's a quiet village

Every day like the one before

Little town full of little people

Waking up to say

Get lost! Get lost! Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!

There goes the farmer with his corn like always

Can we help you with that mister?

Every morning just the same

Since the morning that we came

To this tiny rural town

"Good morning Sisters!"

"Good morning!"

"Where're you off to?"

"West Avenue. Can we tell you the most wonderful story about the Nephites and the Lamanites?"

"Oh, that's nice, Marie! The baggets! Hurry up!"

Now it's no wonder that they're missionaries

Their spirit's got no parallel

But behind the spirit of God
I'm afraid their rather odd

You're a mystery to the rest of us, Sisters

Good day, God bless, how is your family?
Good day, God bless, how is your wife?

I need six eggs, there's Dollar General

There must be someone who wants Eternal Life!

Hehe, we never did finish it. Oh well.

Well, like I just told Dad, there's not a whole lot of news from over here. Just a few things, like we got to go see "Come Home to Kanesville" (a musical play about the pioneers) at the Kanesville Tabernacle in Iowa. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I went to Iowa! I actually gave tours there as well as the Mormon Trail Center. Look it up! :) So I can now say that the farthest East I've ever been is Council Bluffs Iowa, and still never been to Colorado. :)

Then also the members we're living with are out of town this week, so I haven't officially met them yet (I think I met the wife briefly when I was on exchanges, but I can't remember). So of course, because they're gone, already their dog has ran away (and was later found by a vet, thank heavens), and a bird ran into their back door window and completely cracked it and it's now on the verge of shattering. Life is never boring at Fairview. :)
