Dear Family & Friends,
Oh, how I loathe Brown Recluses... We have two casualties in this Battle of the Spiders... We lost our two mattresses to them, and we had to throw them away. But they were quickly replaced by our Zone Leaders, who heard of our terrible loss and rushed with two more mattresses to assist us.
I would like to honor that wonderful member, M J, who has been so generous and hospitable to us in our time of need. We have been staying in his home for the past 2 weeks, and we haven't wanted for anything that he didn't provide. It's been great getting to know him, and I'm grateful for the time we were able to spend with him.
We are currently staying in a member's empty house, that they are preparing to sell, until June 5th. Which is when we can move into our new apartment. Everything in our apartment is packed and ready to go on Friday. My only prayer is that it doesn't rain on Friday. We have been getting so much rain here! Nobody can walk on their lawns because the ground is so soft and you leave foot prints in the lawn! I didn't think about that and now a member has a nice trail of foot prints leading up to their door... which couldn't possibly be from me...
I'm about to run out of time on this library computer. So I'll try to get on later and write more. But in case I don't... I love you all! Have a great week!
