Hi,
   We did our dress rehearsal tonight for the SUN SET SHOW- it was raining some but we did it anyway.  It is an outside show, fun and cute, I did my solo (Rendacilla) this is funny I am BY MY SELF!!! And I memorized a story about Cinderella but it is all mixed up - yes I memorized it, WOW. It is cute and of course I made a funny costume for it.   I get lots of laughs.   Yes I will do it for you at home - but only if you beg ha ha .  
  Well it is so green here.  The other night I went for a walk about 10 pm.  It was windy and cool and dark with the moonlight, I think it was the most beautiful walk I have ever had.   There were fire flies,  and fields of grass, the moon and it was by the horses, over a bridge and on a dirt road, I just wanted to stay there, and Oh yes there was some water going under the bridge making wonderful noises.   When the girls come here they will get to go on a hand cart trail for 1 mi. ,if they want and that is where I was.
   All of our outlines have been re written so I have to kind of learn them a new. It is nice living around really great people, we are asked to do a lot, but it is wonderful to see how willing they all are and we are all in the same boat so we are all rowing together!!!   
  It is hard to get to all of you and the young women too and my ward family writes too, I feel guilty if I don't write, I really can't.
   I am making pioneer caps for the boys in the family, everyone wears them here and they look great.  
 I have 12 months left in my mission. I'm  Happy,
 LOVE, GRANDMA

Pictures


Janet sent some pictures of her mission. It's fun to see where she lives, her outfits that she wears and the sisters that she serves with. We are so proud of her and thankful for her good example.
