sweet clare bear

Clare wrote this adorable letter to dan. I am copying it word for word here.  She is learning form writing in school where you start with a descriptive sentence and then dive in and describe the event in more detail. It is cute to see her try to use quotation marks and her spelling of some words.


October 17, 2013 Dear Elder Dalquist Today was my first day of changing JoJo's diper! It was asom! All tell you about it. I was lisining to music and then JoJO ran up to me and said "stinky Bear Bear" and I said "okay?" and so I told her to "lay down and wait write their wail I go get a diper and some wipes" and so I went and got a diper and some wipes then I changed her diper. Mom dride to help me butt JoJo yelled "NO!!!!" By the way how are you and how is your companion? I love you so so much! Is going on a mishin fun or not fun? Do you teach any kiddos? Are you getting any skinnyer?

(2 years ago Dan was 300 lbs. Then he got to 250 before he left on his mission. Now he is 180. Amazing!)


Not the best picture but at least shows her handwriting. I think she isn't done yet but I don't think she'll write too much more.
