Missionary Mail

I am house sitting for a family that I am close with, the Martineaus, and about 5 days after they left, I got a text asking if I could take a little baby lizard hat was in one of the boy's rooms to a friends house. I go and find the Rubbermaid, but no little lizard. So I went a pulled out some purple papers that were taped in there (places for the lizard to hide), and when I pulled one of them out, there was the lizard, stuck to the tape and dead. I texted Jen and told her what happened, and what was I to do with it? Mail it to Brandon. Jeff was suggested first, but it would take a looong time for the letter to get to him compared to the two days for Brandon.

I wish I could see his reaction to him opening it! I'm excited for when he will be able to write me back telling me what he thought of it. :) I feel like things of this sort are usually the other way around, the boy sending the girl some sort of dead thing. Nope, not this time! I'm such a sweet girlfriend. ;)

I gave Brandon a list of instructions in his letter, so first he opens up the purple paper that has the lizard in it, he needs to take a picture of it (I'm curious to see what the mail system will do to it), throw it away, read the story behind why he has just received a dead lizard (Which is in a taped closed index card that says to open last), and then write me back! :)

 

Here's the lizard. He really is a small little thing, less than an inch long.

 

 

So that was my exciting day of mail to my missionary yesterday. I'll let you know what he says when I get my letter. :)
