to me
Thanks for writing, Mom! Today has been crazy. My companion had to go to the clinic in the morning, so we've just barely eaten and now we're writing. I guess that's a blessing, because I got to read your email. If we'd gone in the morning, I wouldn't have had anything. :) I also got your handwritten letters. :) Thanks for writing. You guys are the best!

You know what? The Turks told us that if we want to, we can have our family send a ballot and we can vote. I don't even know what's going on in the US. haha. But I can vote, I suppose. Also, I'm really debating asking you to send my straightener. I know that's a weird thing to ask for after a year out, but I made the mistake of cutting myself bangs and they're driving me crazy! haha.

I love you bunches, Mom. You motivate me to be more diligent. I want to be a good sister and a good daughter. I know sometimes I'm really terrible and prideful, but the great thing about service is that it weeds those things out of you. But it's a painfully slow process sometimes. Sometimes I just want to BE Perfect. But that wouldn't require nearly as much faith. :)

I'm glad your recovering...from everything. Keep being awesome! ;) And give everyone hugs for me!
Love love love,
Jane
