Dear Family,
Hi! Wow! Thanks alot for the post-card I got yesterday from Florida! I can't get over the fact that it only took two days to get here. Glad you thought to sent it to Thetis!
Sounds like you all had a good time in Florida. Hope John & Dad enjoyed their sailboat ride. There are about 5 canoes & a couple of row boats here. A few of us want to take one out maybe tomorrow.
Besides this afternoon we really haven't had any 'free' time. This afternoon we were suppose to take a tour of the island & then go into some caves here. But it really rained so it was cancelled.
One thing the weather of Oregon really prepared me for the weather here. (cold-damp/raining)
Hi! -- I just got back from the meeting where we found out where we will be. I'll be in a town called Quilchena. There will be another girl named Lyn with me. She was in the program last year. We'll be living in a school house. They said they wanted to send boys there but there weren't enough boys. It's a ranching area & they said I'll learn to ride a horse quick. Also -- we'll be doing our own cooking!!
I'm really excited about all of this. I hope you all can get out a map & see where I'll be.
Also it will be hot there. Also bugs -- (ugh!)
Now for the important news. My address -- . . . . Merrit, B.C.
As I said before -- we will be in a town called Quilchena but the missionary I'll be under lives in Merritt & that is where I'll get my mail from. Now -- be sure and write you all!!
I've got to be getting my new address "out" so I better close for now.
Lyn is a school teacher from Alabama. Was actually in Quilchena last year too. She said we will be cooking on a coleman stove!!
Also -- I was wondering about buying film to make slides with. Do you think it would be worth it? We do have a slide projector -- don't we?
