My Spazzy Letter

This is a letter that I wrote to a missionary in Argentina.  I've never met him, but my roommates told me lots about him.  I don't think he ever got this letter, and I can't resend it because he's home now.  So for some crazy reason, I have decided to post it to my blog.



Dear Elder Carter,


Ok. I know this may seem kind of weird, because you don’t know me. I was actually roommates with Sherrie Allen (Alder) and Amanda Linton (Pyne) this last year. (Yeah, I hope you knew that they were both married now! My goodness, it seems like everyone is getting married. Weird.) They told me all about their freshman year, which incidentally, also included you. Anyway, Amanda showed me the website that your weekly letters are posted to a few months ago, and I have to confess that I’ve been reading it for while now.  I love that you are so positive, and I also love reading about your experiences. And, believe it or not, a few of your posts have given me some clarification that I’ve needed in my life. (See, you’re such a good missionary that you’re even helping people who are still far away!) 


Well, I suppose I should tell you a little bit about myself. Let’s face it; it’s only fair.  I go to BYU and I’m studying English, because I want to be an editor. If you remember, you should ask Amanda about how stressed I was over my Shakespeare class during winter semester; it was intense. Anyway, moving on.  I’m the oldest of five kids; I have three brothers and one sister.  My hobbies include reading, watching movies, and hanging out with friends and family. Yeah, not very original, but it’s hard to come up with hobbies on the spot! Favorite color: purple for now, it likes to change.  I laugh a lot; seriously, Amanda and Sherrie can both attest to this. I think I should be diagnosed with chronic giggling. It’s THAT bad. Haha, it’s ok though. I prefer it this way. :)


I hope this is sufficient enough for now. To be honest, I don’t really know what else to say.  I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for sharing your experiences while on your mission.  If there is anything I left out, let me know; I’d be happy to answer any questions you have!  I hope that you have a wonderful day/week/month (I don’t know when you’ll receive this!).  You (and all other missionaries) are always in my prayers.


Sincerely,
Aleesha
