Hey Kristi,
Sorry it took me so long to write. My life is very boring. NOTHING ever goes on! Last week, however, was our first week of summer. Lidia has become the best friend I have ever had (even though she is 2 years younger than me!). We went to Lagoon together on the 17th. It was so fun. Lidia had never been there before; nor anywhere like it! She got sick on most of the rides.

The 18th-20th was Youth Conference. It was great! I went with Lindsey, Lidia is too young, to the camp. We had lots of fun and got to know some of the youth in our stake. They are all such spiritual people! We got to go canoeing on the last day. Then, on Saturday (the 21st) was our Regional Dance. It was lots of fun also! I love summer!

On the following Sunday (yesterday) I heard a “big secret” everyone knew but me… well, almost everyone. Lidia told me. The only reason she knew is because her big brother is Dominic and everyone goes over there to talk. She was the only other person at home so she was let into the conversation but sworn to secrecy. She couldn’t handle it, though, and had to tell me!

They were talking about who they like. Dominic said he likes Chanda and said that I was very pretty and nice but too young for him. Mark, my good friend, said that he likes me a lot! …and he thinks Donna and Bonnie are cute. Jonathan likes me too! That’s a lot of people liking me! Mark, Jonathan, Rico, Dakotah (My little neighbor), Ryan and Adam (from school) all like me. Matt, Brian and Dominic said that I’m cute. Woah! I had no idea that many people like me! I really thought almost nobody did. I’m really not that cute. Well, I’ll write to you later. -C- ya!
Love, Melonie
