Scott says.......
I just want to say a thank you to Paula and Mom especially for doing a newsletter! We have kept every one since it started. In a way it is part of our family history. I get excited to see it. It is our main connection to our family in America. Sure it is nice seeing people's Blogs or catching up on facebook and I love talking to Paula's family and Mom on skype (I still need more people to use this free service by the way), but the newsletter is like the Reader's Digest of our family news. (That means it is a real good read when you are on the throne.) I appreciate Paula and Mom for their dedicated effort. I know I couldn't do what they do. And so I hope I can at least support them by getting some timely news in on a regular basis.
I also know that these newsletters get out to our missionaries and that they enjoy them. That doesn't excuse us from writing to our missionary(ies) personally, but lets face it our family is terrible at writing letters. I can prove it, I have a spreadsheet from my mission showing who wrote me and who I wrote and when. I have had more information about and from David and Mark the last two years through the newsletter than I did during my mission (when we didn't have a newsletter). So if you are going to write send something into the news letter.
In the past year it has slowly been losing momentum as Mom and Paula has stopped trying to remind everyone and every one is too lazy.. I mean busy.. to set a time to have their articles in once every month or two. Please, we should have at least nine articles in the newsletter plus Mom's. That's a pretty small number considering Margaret's kids usually put a couple of articles in wether or not Margaret does.
