When it snows, the world gets a
little bit drained of color. Right now there is ice on the roads, snow on the
sidewalks and in the fields, and rain falling from the sky. Lots of gray.
But! We have a lot of fun
anyway. I just have to find ways to put color into my little missionary world.I
made a scripture case:
I color my letters to friends
and family. Here are the letters I sent out last week:
They represent respectively: Swan Lake, Rapunzel, Simon and
Garfunkel's "The Boxer", and Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.
(inaccurately because of the electric light. Pretend those lights are hand-lit
streetlamps and candles from the early 19th century).
You can't really see this giant
pile of tumbleweeds, but the wind was being extremely persnickety the day
before it last snowed. They totally blocked the sidewalk. Now they have snow
all over them. Not really colorful. Just fantastic. This wins the largest
tumbleweed competition for now- but we've had some great contenders in the
past. Some bigger than me. None large enough to block the entire sidewalk.
Tumbleweeds aren't really colorful, I guess. Just amusing.
If you write me a letter you will get a colorful picture on the back of the
envelope that holds my response.
Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Sister Caroline Faulkner
