I loved all those packages!! You'll
never believe it, but we got sooooooooooo much food!!! Each family here got us
something, like cookies or chocolate boxes. But one family gave us SEVEN huge
grocery bags full to the brim with food!!!! We won't have to go shopping
today!!! Nearly two weeks of food! Crazy! I'm looking forward to diving into
all those goodies! Unfortunately, the box of lemon heads was solid as a brick! But I can still chip away at it! Delicious!
The only thing I wish I'd gotten was some Warheads! But I honestly got
everything I wanted anyways, so no reason to complain! I'm so glad I got two
sweaters! It's been freezing up here! So cold! I don't know what the weather
forecast is saying, but it feels even colder, I promise you!
I'm glad you guys had a great
holidays! The NYE Dance is going to be
fun for Claire!
Good for Makayla!! Korea, wow! Seoul
right? I know a guy going there too! Spencer's coming home!? Man I thought he'd
just left! Missions are just too fast, ya know!? Slow down! Jeez!!
On Christmas I felt I was intruding
the whole time I was at people's houses. We did play games with the families,
which was fun, but it was just so awkward because I didn't know any of them... But,
you just gotta keep moving forward. And that's what I'm gonna do.
Oh I wish I had time to email you
guys! I was prepared to tell you all about Inverness, but I didn't quite
foresee the voluminous agglomeration of Christmas emails I'd receive from
people back home!! Awesome!!!
But I will tell
you that today I finally achieved one of my dreams: I got to visit LOCH
NESS!!!!!!!! Yeah!! A member picked us up and drove us around the Loch!! I got
plenty of pictures which I'm going to send Dad soon. It was the most beautiful
scenery I've ever seen!! I haven't seen a more beautiful spot!! Not just the
lake, but around it too!! So beautiful!! It was bitter cold but it was so
great!! It's actually really tiny! 22 miles long! Only a mile and a half wide
at the widest! Really small! But it's over 1000 feet deep! And the member has
"seen" Nessie too!! He's a marine expert, doing dives and
such for commercial and private jobs. Apparently he was doing some kind of
sonar scan of the Loch, and he and his friend detected something huge right
beneath them! But before they could record it, it disappeared. Cool huh!?
I really did love the packages you
sent and the time we took talking with each other!! Thank you for that!! I love
you so much!! Merry Christmas!! Have a great New Years Eve!! Talk to ya in
2015!!!
