Last e-mail from the U. S. of A...for 16 months, December 27, 2011

Hello Again fam bam,

I know you are sick of hearing from me since I was able to e-mail you a couple of days ago, and I don't have much to report. In exactly a week I will be going to bed in Geneva Switzerland. How cool is that! I dont have my exact flight information with me right now but I will call you from the airport on Monday and tell you everything then. I know that our flight is out of SLC at 8:10 am to Dallas/Fort Worth and we are flying British Airways, for all of the flights. We get into Dallas around 11:55 and then don't leave until 4:45 for London. We get into London at 7:30 the next morning and our flight to Geneva is at 8:30 and we get in there at 11:10 in the morning, on January 3, 2012! What 2012?!?!? Where did the time go? Unfortunately I am not allowed to meet up with any family members at the airport but I will be sure to call them from the airport. Mom I will call you first and then just get everyones phone number from you. Don't worry about dear eldering phone numbers.

So I understand that Christmas was noisey but how was it otherwise? What did you all do and how did the little kids enjoy Christmas! Does Addison understand how awesome Santa is yet? I loved the little letters from the Traill's. It was so cute to see little kid hand writing in French. I am sorry to hear that the kiddos were all sick. That is not fun at all. Hopefully when we all have Christmas together again everyone will be healthy. And hopefully Addison wont be such a trouble maker when I get home. Thats cool that Grandma 'surprised' you all. I hope you are having a fun time together!

I tried the SD card several times to find the video but all that is there is pictures. I even tried it in my companions camera to see if it was just mine. It didnt work in her camera either. I cannot use the digital frame until I have a flash drive. They do not sell those here at the bookstore so I will have to buy one in France. I bought a convertor and transformer today for pretty cheap so I am good on that. Also I found a way to cash checks here so I will not be sending that check home. And yes I did get both packages. I got them both on December 23, the last possible day to get mail before the Holidays. Did you have Mer read my testimony in French? I sent out my package on the 15th so that is disappointing about it not getting there until the 23rd. At least it was there in time. Well there is not much else to report since Sunday. I am getting pretty nervous but I know I am in the Lord's hands and therefore I shall not fear.

I found out that my last couple of e-mails have not made it to the blog. PLEASE post them! ALL OF THEM! Thank you. Thank you big time for the perfume. Its nice to feel like a woman again. I loved all my gifts. I dont know if i mentioned that in my last e-mail. Oh also, send the dearelders for the last time on Thursday. Sometimes they take a LONG time to get to us and I know the mail room is going to be closed over the weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful week and get hyped to talk to me on Monday! I expect everyone to make time to talk to me, even if they havent had time to write me!

I love you very much.
Love,S. Addis
