Well hello! how are you doing?!?! mom I'm not the one that you have to tell "I better marry Shannon" you better tell her that lol! well hang in there with the knee! that's funny what your doctor said but i can imagine that it is true! what he doesn't know is that that "punch in the face" would really turn into a "golden toe dropkick in the stones" :D but hang in there it will all work out! its good to hear that people are taking care of you! dad sorry you aren't feeling well.. geez you are both down... imagine that lol... sorry both of ya! but hey just hang in there! everything will work out smooth! well i have some good news! We had a baptism last night!!! it was amazing! Al Cormack got baptized! it was one of the coolest! His wonderful wife Sue Cormack got up and bore her testimony and she said that when they got married she accepted that as a blessing from heavenly father that she would have a good companion for the rest of this life.. and now that he has made this decision it opens up a whole new world of opportunity for them! there was an amazing sense of Joy in that room last night and the spirit was so strong! but that puts the count of couples i will get to see sealed in the temple while i am here at 2! woohoo!!! I am so excited! this is just wonderful! I love my mission! I wouldn't trade it for anything! well things are getting super busy... so much that (its a good thing) i don't think about anything else... I am just
constantly on the go and my brain has never been filled with so much information at once... (ya dad it is a good thing i came on m y mission with a "brand new" brain :D ) but ya things are
getting crazy busy! and time just flies! wow.. but hey next time you send me something send me
some more little tapes so i can start "keeping my journal" lol cause now my excuse isn't i am too lazy it is that i don't have enough time... which is true.. but hey i hope all is well! let me know how grandma Penman is doing! tell everyone hi for me! speaking of grandma Penman I called Pres
Clark to see how she was doing and i said hey President how are ya i was just calling cause my grandma had surgery and i wanted to know how she is doing... and he said you are spooky you know that? and i was like huh? and he said i was listening to the voicemail from your dad and as soon as it got over you called on the other line... then he told me how things went and what not.. but i thought it was pretty funny...
