October 26, 2009

Mom to missionary in response to last week's letter:

Take your cuffed pants to a tailor, if you have not already, and see if you can get them hemmed without cuffs. I never thought about the problem of stuff getting in your cuffs.

What do we want for Christmas? I don’t think any of us are expecting or want you to spend a lot of time and money on Christmas presents! I think some little Canadian souvenir -ish things would be fun – magnets, or paperweights, or …. Anything that tickles your fancy and connects us to you and/or Canada.

More importantly – WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS? If you need help with ideas, ask the other Elders what are the best and the worst things they have gotten. : )

From Elder Robarts:
Hmm, I hadn't thought of taking them to a tailor and having them redone. I suppose that's possible. I wonder how much that would cost... I'll have to look into it and see what our options are. ^^
I hadn't thought of what /I/ would want for Christmas, though I guess it'd make sense that you would want to know. XD I hope you're okay with waiting a week for the answer to that question. I should have some ideas by then. =)
DEVASTATION!!!!! D=


I was just wrapping up a long Email I was writing when the window suddenly closed! DDD=

No time to rewrite! D=

I'll have to try and fit it all in next week. =(

But, other than that, life has been wonderful. ^^ Thanks for your gift suggestions. Those that haven't sent in requests yet, please do.

See you next week! ^^

Your loving Missionary, Elder Andrew Robarts

I guess I just didn't think about the hem of my suits. I think we got half of mine strait and half of them cuffed, and I just chose the strait ones when I would be outside a lot that day. It probably is a good idea to keep the cuffs on one pair to wear when you want to look your best.
