08/24/86 Dimanche (Sunday) Last day at Colette's!

I can't believe how screwed up my emotions are.  I am always on the verge of tears.  I still have 24 hours to kill here and then another 30-36 at orientation.  I just want to go home.

I organized all my things and packed all my hanging clothes except what I'm gonna wear until Wednesday.  I have only 1F so I hope I don't need money before I get home.  I am hoping to get all my things into 2 bags but I don't know if it is possible.  I still have loads of history to do but I need other books to finish.

Things between Colette and I are tense but ok.  I think she realizes I don't really like her and I don't think she likes me much although we have been holding small conversations today and we are going to a movie.  I want to go home so bad I could just pop.  I think that is why I'm so emotional.  I'm glad I got to spend time with the Dulys.

My French improved lots.  2 people asked me questions at the train station and I understood and answered them.

I'm gonna write a thank you note and leave it up here for her to find after I'm gone.  We raen't going to the movie - oh well. And great news!  Tonya and I are together at orientation!!

By 2 p.m. tomorrow we are supposed to meet.  That means I will be here only until 12! Great!

No details yet and Tonya doesn't know.  I even had a conversations with Md LaPorte and Colette . It was wild.  She understood most of what I was staying.  Colette didn't because she doesn't care but it's ok.  Colette was even laughing at me when I messed up by Md LaPort was patient and kind.  It was neet.

Nothing exciting.  Small conversation.  Wrote music and played solitaire. I'm so excited to go home!

I weigh 143 - more than I've weighed in over a year.  I'm still disgusted but I don't feel fat here.  Last week I really felt good about me. I still do.

Bon Soir

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a c

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the
