My brother is on a mission...

And he is one stellar missionary. We communicate via email, and it is the highlight of my week… Today, was one of those hilarious letters, that I read in my dorm… alone, and laughed out loud (lol?… no never okay) for a good five minutes. five minutes! Alone! I can't wait for this boy to get home, especially with all the turmoil in South Korea.

Best friend

I posted the letter… because it's funny, and everyone deserves a good laugh.

CLAYTON!!! (Three exclamation points may not be necessary)

I can't believe it's almost December! Mom has already started decorating for Christmas, and it will be the best Christmas ever… in terms of decorations and the company that will be here (you)! I can't wait for Christmas. :) but until then I will study, a lot. Clayton, I'm one of those weird girls that has started a blog. I always thought those people were so weird… (and sometimes still mostly do)… I feel like they are self-centered and emotional girls who think they are so important and their ideas are so respected that they should blog for the whole world to read… (nothing is holding them back… (say in a free ish voice--- kind of "Jack-I-feel-like-I-can-fly-tone" from the Titanic)) But I have a blog… and when you get back you can (WILL) follow it and love it. Mostly, I talk about funny experiences etc.. and don't tell anyone that I have a blog, besides mom and the family… In fact, dad just found out I had a blog last week.. and I've had one for a few months, but oh well.. hahaha It's a good way to journal, I guess.

So how is everything going in the mission?… I want to hear all about it! How is your companion and all of your investigators?… I can't wait to hear you speak in Korean and communicate with people. Anyways I love you and am so proud of you and your decision to serve a mission. Full-time missionaries are becoming more sparse, but thank you for being worthy and working so hard! I love you! Thanks for your example!

Love,

Megan

Clayton's Response:

Welcome to the day in the life of Elder Conley. This blog is dedicated to my sister Megan. I don't think I'd have the courage to start a blog if it weren't for her.

I woke up this morning to snow... It was a p-day just like any other. I went to the post-office, checked the e-mail and found a letter from my sister, Megan. I decided to take a moment to write her a short message as follows:



Dear Megan,

I'm glad to hear that my sister is now the star of her very own blog. I can't wait to be one of the main characters (do I need to audition? I've been practicing (see above)) haha. But seriously, that's a good way to keep a journal - you've got me thinking...

Glad to hear that the house is a winter-wonderland. I heard it snowed a lot! It snowed here last night (as you may have heard from my blog, you're a fan right?), but it's all melted now.

I have loved this last bit of my mission. It's been some of the most fun I've had my entire mission.

I coming home in a few weeks. Please be nice to me if I'm weird (I mean, I just did start a blog and everything. ) haha. But, seriously you're going to need to be my guide when I get home. We can be study-budies. Can't wait.

Love ya' lots

Clayton

I ended my letter thinking of the many wonderful memories that await him at home. I don't know, blog, sometimes I feel like you're the only one who understands me….

I feel like tacos.

He understands the blog world… right? :)
