Well, heaven only knows when this will get out because the computer is giving me
grief and not letting me access my email.
Lots of good things happened this week. I am really excited to spend more time in Windsor Locks. It definitely has a different feeling from Windsor. Besides being smaller and more working-class, it just feels different. Sad and depressing. Definitely a lot of needs a lot of unhappy people and a lot of work to be done. It's exciting. Now the difficult part is that all our current investigators live in Windsor which doesn't help with the mileage restrictions. We're trying to figure out how we can gradually transition things over to Windsor Locks.
As of right now we still have one solid baptismal date for June 21st.
The new apartment building is hilarious. It has an institutional look to it and there are lots and lots of long, dark hallways. Kind of like Mike and Andrea's last apartment in Texas, except with a lot more hallways. Every hallway has its own unique (but not in a good way) smell. Our apartment has a very unique smell. I'm sure all of these smells can be at least partially attributed to a combination of Connecticut's lack of smoking laws, the people's obsessions (!) with their pets, and all the little mold-and-mildew type friends that grow in such a wet environment.
Random fact for Dad: I was informed by a native New Yorker that John Travolta is from Engelwood (spelling?), New Jersey which apparently is close to Ridgewood. The guy that told me confused the two and first told me he was from Ridgewood and I got all excited. "My dad lived in the same town as John Travolta!" Not so much, but close.
I'm going to hurry and send this in case the computer kicks me off.
Love,
Sister Monson
