Phun Photos — Phinally!

On the day after Thanksgiving, we received a package from Melissa containing (among other things) 2 memory cards from her camera.  It was great to get to see some photos again - some of these are from back in August!    Here are a few of our favorites:

I'm going to guess that this one is a "self-portrait."  

Sister Broekhuijsen and Sister Jordan - dressed up in "black and white" to celebrate Michael Jackson's birthday.  

Melissa's friends sent her a "cat-themed" package to celebrate her 1-year anniversary as a missionary.  She was so excited that she put this puzzle together in record time!  

There was a fan blowing at the subway station, so she stood in front of it and "felt like a model."  

One day Melissa was just twisting her hair and it just kind of turned into this cool hairstyle.  She took some photos to document it, but unfortunately has never since been able to recreate the effect!

After several weeks in the city, they had a special Zone Conference, which was held in "some place that starts with an 'F'" and this is Melissa enjoying nature!  

A little blurry, but it shows a lovely setting where Melissa and her companion sat one day to fill out some paperwork.  It is also the place where she would like to be proposed to!  :-)  

The last day with her District in Roslindale - they got together and she made fruit pizzas.  She was particularly proud that her design was 1/7ths - a nice prime number!   

The splendor of fall in Connecticut!

A combination of two of Melissa's "favorite" things - Halloween and monkeys!  The expression says it all, right?  

Here is "Melissa Jackson" - her Halloween costume - note the Michael Jackson-esque hair also!  

The house of the left is where she is currently living in Clinton.  That window is her bedroom window and the tree on the ground broke off during Hurricane Sandy.  Apparently her neighbors were there and saw it fall.  They said it was heading right for the house, and at the last minute a gust of wind blew the whole branch in the opposite direction, so that if fell harmlessly to the ground.  Missionary blessings!
