well hows it going?!?! i hope all is well! well i guess tomorrow is the big day huh?! mom is going to get a little terminator in her lol! pretty soon we will just have to settle for some metal rents :D well mom don't be nervous everything is going to run smooth! i have faith! especially since you have been reading your scrips! :D it does wonders! well i got me a boy now! Elder Allred from
Cloverdale California... he is about 6'3 and about 250 and guess what his hobby is?!?! reading... hrrrp but oh well.. he is the youngest of 3 boys and he is very spoiled.. he cant turn on the shower because i "turn the nobs too tight" he had no idea how to do laundry and today i had to inform him that 32 degrees is the temperature for freezing.... so yep i have to turn the shower on for him... but i tell you what i tighten them harder and harder ever time now... he will be able to turn the shower on by the time he is done with me... lol! ya but he has been very spoiled his whole life... he doesn't have a drivers license because he doesn't like to drive but he sure likes to complain about my driving lol! and no it hasn't gotten any better :D but we had some problems for the first few days with my boy being way too freaking prideful.. I'm talking way way way prideful.. and so in a very loving way i had to put him in his place and humble him a very little lot a bit... and since then things have just been great.. he is still a spaz and has really no common sense but i can handle that! :D lol! but it is hard to do missionary work when you aren't humble and you aren't teachable you know? but i wont give you any details but i have to say that humbling him was the best thing i could have done.. and it was a little bit fun too :D ... but anyways we are having a baptism of FRIDAY!!! woot woot! BIG AL CORMACK!!! taking the plunge!! that's what I'm talking about! he is going to make such a great member and you know he and looking forward to being sealed to his wife! (very active member) before baptism! and guess what! i will still be here when they are sealed!!! woohoo!!! that's 2 weddings on my list!! :D the Saterens and the Cormacks! exciting stuff! i tell ya! the mission is great! I absolutely love it!
and i want you to know that this church is so true! and it is given to us to bring us joy and that is what it truly does! I love you guys! dad! you are keeping the stash? just let it go too... i mean come on dad i remember the pictures with you and a stash... lol!! but whatever you do don't smash Reid in the grill lol! and mom i love you! i will be praying f or you! but dont worry! everything will be fine! dad i have to call pres tomorrow to let him know how my greenie is doing and i will ask him about if i can get a hold of you to see how mom is doing... just go ahead and email me back and tell me what time mom is going in when you find out and how long you think she will be and then i will see if someone at the office will either call you or what i dunno but we will figure something out.. and im sure you could call the office and they will get me the message either way but just email me back and i will figure something out... LOVE YA!! good luck mom!! and hey there is nothing like learning the scriptures on drugs lol!!! take care!
