No more sticky notes!

I want to thank everyone that has sent me sticky notes lately! I
have more sticky notes than I will need for the rest of my mission and
maybe even the rest of my life. lol So THANK YOU! But please don't
send me anymore or I won't have enough room to pack my clothes in my
suitcase the next time I get transferred. haha, OK maybe I exaggerate a
little, but seriously... I'm sure you get the point! :)
     Mother, Thank you for the Halloween package! Sister Dilworth and
I loved all the treats, costumes, and misc. items (especially the
boogers)! The skirts fit perfectly and we love them! We have both worn
them at least twice since we got them. :) Also, thank you for the list
of remaining pre-mission items in my box at home. Something to
consider is using the scrapbook paper for the letters that you send to
me. As well as sending the paperclips that are already in there in the
next package, those will last me the rest of the mission. Thank you
for the information that you sent and answering my questions. I am not
planning on any big purchases soon or later for that matter...I am
just still OCD about money and I want to make sure that I am not over
spending on anything that I do buy. I was able to buy a new pair of
shoes that I could NOT resist. They are dark purple peep toe heels.
Obviously I will not be wearing them to do missionary work but for
special occasions it will be nice to have heels again. My shoes are
looking more and more like missionary shoes, if you know what I mean.
haha! I am excited that they have last half my mission already and I
plan on making then last quite a while longer.
     I have been thinking about what to say for my memories about
Memaw and Papaw and I will write those down and send them so that it
won't take too much of my email time.
     I would love to have some current pictures of everyone and
everything. For example: School pictures; Professional pictures (if
they have been taken); random funnies; the new kitchen; etc. :) Thanks
       Mother, you also asked if it was hard for us to find the
Portland Temple when we went a couple weeks ago. The answer is no, it
was not difficult to get there, it was more difficult to get back!
haha! We do not drive ourselves to the temple because it is in
Portland which is out of our mission. So we have to find a ride. We
asked one of our most favorite people, Sister Lowe, to take us. She
printed off directions to the temple from mapquest and we got to the
temple just fine...We had a hard time for some reason reversing the
directions to get back but I knew pretty much how to get back because
I have served all over Vancouver now. So we got home just fine but in
a semi-round-about way.
      I am excited to be able to come back and tour the mission and be
able to know where I am going (for the most part). There are so many
people that I want to visit again and that I want you (mother and
daddy) to meet!
     One more quick thing before I run out of time...Is there anyway
that you can send me a ballot so that I can vote??? If there is
something that I have to do just let me know and I can ask Pres. Greer
for permission but if you can find all that out and send me something
that would be great! I would love to be able to vote and be an active
citizen even though I am a missionary.
       We had Zone Conference and Stake Conference this week so it was
a wonderfully Spiritual week as well. We both had migraines after Zone
Conference so that was not very pleasant but we learned a lot and had
a great time regardless. We won "the cleanest car" award...which makes
2 times in a row for me with 2 different cars and companions. Sister
McGhie and  I won last ZC. :) haha! I love clean cars!
     You should look up voodoo doughnuts online...they are amazing.
The Roberts gave us an entire box of them! YUMM!!!
     I gotta go! Miss you! I love you all! Have a great week! :) HUGS AND KISSES
