Sarah's September 6th Email

Hey there Family!

This week has been great! We had twelve less actives at church on Sunday! score for the Mormons! We've been working hard and loving it!

Right now it's raining.

So yesterday I went to go get my hair cut. I cut a good bit off. I know I told Mom that I wasn't going to cut it again on my mission, but it was too out of hand. You know how my hair has a mind of it's own. Anyway, it's at my shoulders, nothing too fancy, but while I was on this hair kick, I decided I'd dye it too. Just a nice medium brown color, like I usually do. Well, My companion was kind enough to offer to dye it for me. The plan was this: She was going to dye my hair and take a quick shower to let it set, and then I was going to go wash it out. Well, first of all, she managed to get my hair done in three minutes. She assured me that she was sure she had done a thorough job, so I didn't press the matter. Then I saw the box and saw that it was supposed to set for only ten minutes, as opposed to the 20 minutes that is usual. well, I pointed this out, and she said that she'd be out of the shower in 15, and really, that's how long I should keep it in for maximum result. Not wanting to make a pest of myself, (you all can tell I'm a little ticked, can't you) I agreed and she jumped in the shower. HALF AN HOUR LATER, she gets out of the shower and I rush in, thinking my hair is going to fall out. and...

well...

it didn't fall out...

But my hair is now totally BLACK. That's right. I look Gothic. I'm terrified to send you all pictures, it looks awful. Sister Allen assures me I look great, but all the members we see have that strained smile on their face that tells me otherwise. '

I think it's time for companionship inventory.

With a hammer.

Anyway, not much else to report. I love you all!

from your Gothic in New England,

Sister Dixon
