Oh, that's a butt!

Zuster Mergenthaler hasn't been able to send emails the last couple of weeks because of limited time and dinosaur computers.  This is her most recent email from October 28.  I think she meant to include pictures, but they weren't attached.

We have been able to have video chats with her through Google Hangouts.  She looks great.  She's busy and happy.  Things are going well.

Here's her email:


Our old lady neighbor isn't all the way there sometimes and so occasionally she just decides to bathe with the yard hose. We were taken by surprise one afternoon by that, so there ya go...quote of the week haha. After I said that, zr. McGuire realized and goes "oh my goodness, why did you say that you made me look." Just what good companions do. But wow, this week was pretty great. Some stuff......
--the Tamenga church building was broken into. There was blood all over and it was a mess. We found out the dude that did it hurt his hand in the process of robbing the place (hence the blood). They caught him a day later because he had to go to the hospital his cut was so bad. That had to have been embarrassing....
--took Bobby to Junior and they became best friends. Who knew an old Jamaican ex-gangster and a Surinamese abstract artist would connect? That's just what the gospel does I guess :)
--contacted a dude our age who didn't seem super interested but just kept staring at us. We thought it was weird that he wasn't giving a direct answer if he was interested in learning more, so I go "so I guess if you feel something right now, that's probably God telling you that you should learn more, so are you interested?" I think he felt something totally different because he calls us an hour later and is like "can you come visit me? And also, is it ok if I like one of you guys?" Yikes dude, not smooth. 
--had such a good lesson with Sergio and terence. Sergio has always been more quiet and sad, and he opened up to us about why. We had a good talk about the Plan of Salvation and Jesus Christs role in it. We even had him laughing by the end of the lesson! Woohoo. Gospel brings joy people! 
--Zr. Mac chopped my hair with the kitchen scissors. 
Yeah, those were our highlights. Lots of meetings this week, so I'm excited to implement the things we talked about. Its gonna be a bomb week. I love you guys!

That Sinking Feeling - Real Talk From Your Mother

Also found at Letters from the Nest:   https://open.substack.com/pub/lettersfromthenest/p/that-sinking-feeling?r=48qui&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Dear Nestlings, I hope you don’t mind a little stream-of-consciousness letter today. I don’t know if I have anything specific to share, so let’s see what floats to the surface. It’s a bright fall Friday morning. These last few weeks in central Pennsylvania have been lovely, sunny, and warm. I know winter is coming, so I try to be outside as much as possible to take advantage of the sun before it hibernates. I just completed the forty-minute round trip to drive one of you to the high school. You know who you are, but maybe in a few years, when you read this, you won’t know because every one of you has missed the bus sometimes and has endured lectures about planning better and showing your respect for my work by not requiring forty minutes of my life for your convenience. Anyway, everybody is at school and work except...

Gavin in a Million Words or Less

 Way back when Emily was in 6th grade, her teacher, Ms. Grey, asked parents to write about thier children in a million words or less. I posted what I wrote about Emily on our blog. I wish I were more organized and tech-savvy to find the link to that post and put it here, but I'm not. It's a nice idea that maybe I'll do later. Anyway, you get to read what I wrote to Gavin's fifth grade teacher who made the same requests of parents: Gavin is the youngest of seven children. His three oldest siblings have flown the nest, so he talks to them on the phone and looks forward to holiday visits. This summer, his oldest sister had a baby, so he’s an Uncle! He has three older brothers, who sometimes make life tricky for him, but are also sources of wisdom, rides to the store to get candy, and annoying TikTok phrases. He sometimes wants to be more grown up than he actually is. This little guy is academically oriented. He loves to read BIG books. He rarely reads a standalone nove...

Back To School Meanies

 Letter From the Nest August 15, 2025 https://open.substack.com/pub/lettersfromthenest/p/back-to-school?r=48qui&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web One August, more than twenty years ago, at an evening book club discussion, my “older” friends (now I look back and know those women were the age I am now), were discussing the woes and triumphs of back-to-school season. One woman was anticipating her youngest child’s senior year of high school. She said, “For more than two decades, our lives have revolved around the school district’s academic calendar. I don’t know how I will plan my life without knowing about school breaks or holidays.” I remember her bittersweet tone as she anticipated freedom from school schedule constraints but also mourned how those constraints guided her choices. What would she do? Other women joined the discussion, wondering if their kids would have good teachers, if they’d be able to balance volunteering in the classroom, how to streamline school supply pu...
