Dear friends, This summer I went to Moab, Utah and swam in the pool with my grammy and Poppop and mom and little brother, Hunter. In the morning we would eat at a diner. I saw a magician. He was friendly and cool. He made a ball disappear. He was awesome. What have you done lately? Your friend, Joelle

Dear friends, My name is Mary. I am from Virginia but I live in Zambia now. I have a brother and a sister. We've been mostly setting up Halloween things. We got out our Halloween box and we hung up the stickie things on the window! You can barely see out of the window now! Here we don't trick or treat to houses instead we do it at our school and the families decorate their cars and we go from car to car. Do you know what they call it? Trunk or treating! What are you doing for Halloween? Your friend in Zambia, Mary

Dear friends, My name is Joelle. I have a brother and sister too, Mary. Do your have Thanksgiving? I like to eat mashed potatoes. Do you have a Barbie doll at home? What do you like to do at your house for fun? Your friend, Joelle

Dear friends, Thank you for writing to me. I like going to school. My school is in Australia. I have an older sister and a younger brother. My favourite song is from Pink. I like watching Sponge Bob and Squarepants on TV. What do you like watching? I like eating sausages. I like butterflies. What is your favourite animal? My favourite season is Winter because my birthday is in it. My birthday is August 11. When is your birthday? How do you celebrate Christmas? From your Aussie pal, Bails

Dear Bails, On Christmas I make cookies for Santa so he will not starve to death. We wrap presents in bows and wrapping paper. On Christmas night my mom goes to church. In the morning under the Christmas tree there are presents. That is how to celebrate Christmas. How do you celebrate Christmas? Your friend, Joelle

Dear friends, How was your New Year? Mine was great. For Christmas I got a Go Go My Walking Pup. What did you get? I am getting a puppy. I think I am going to name it Crocket. Your friend, Joelle
