Hahaha that cracks me up about the neighborhood Christmas gift! Elder Hudson is a great guy. And yeah that's not the exact apartment building but you're close! I heard Star Wars was the bomb and super bummed I couldn't go see it.
Anyway the ward here is awesome. Everyone is friendly and loves having the missionaries over for dinner and everyone who can't drink tea, drinks cool aide. EVERYONE. I'm so sick of cool aide. But I love the members here and they love us. Thanks for your advice last week. I'm trying it out and hoping it will work. I've been pretty good though last week. I haven't really had any struggles yet but I'm sure they'll come. So thanks for your help!
I don't have grandma and grandpa Gibbons email. Could you send that to me so I could thank them? Also grandma and grandpa so winkels email.
Love you much

It's super funny and she was writing it as I took this picture. The Stevens family had just delivered a christmas gift to us and Mom had spent all week doing the same neighborhood gift (the Sprite bottles). Mom was frustrated and you will enjoy Sariah's letter as a result. The second photo is of Sariah walking across the field toward the Stevens' house with our neighborhood gift..

I think I'll get my old letters and start sending them to you for kicks. You might enjoy seeing the things I was dealing with on my mission. You'll have to let me know once I start.
