A visit with sister Savage

Monica's (awesome) aunt Jana served a mission in Canada and is still close friends with Ruth, who is a member and lives in Monicas area. Ruth was able to go visit Monica and sent me the following message and picture about their visit.

I met Savage II yesterday. I guess technically though, she is Savage IV since now her aunt and two sisters have served missions. We won't count the guys from the family. In the old testament they didn't include women and children in the census, so we will only count women for this purpose.


Monica is lovely and she has a really good companion, Sister Simons. They get along very well and laugh a lot. Anyone who has served a mission must know what a great blessing that is. We met at the Bayview chapel and talked for about an hour. I heard about your families and Jana, she thinks you are the bees knees as an aunt and particularly loves Robin and the time they spent together as little girls. We laughed about the hilarious Christmas letters Robin wrote. She is learning the Canadian way: say sorry for EVERYthing and throw in an occasional pardon to change it up a bit, her pronunciation of "about" as "a boot" (according to Americans) is perfect and she knows to ask where the "washroom" is rather than the bathroom, although those terms are interchangeable here really.
