dad,

HAHAHA! holy crap! I cant believe it! its a gosh dang miracle. Thats what it is. Im glad to hear that your doing well. Yes im getting enough to eat. I just havent been eating a whole lot on my mission...I dont know why. So a story on Gardendale. Its the home of the gardendale first baptist.( they hold, " Classes" on the mormon religion." so that just tells you what im up against. But the area is just booming. We got like 10 new investigators this week and 3 with a baptism date so we are just sifting through who we do have and are trying to baptize the people who are willing to change. So Gardendale will be intresting hahaha. Lots of anti but I can handle it. My companion is from Utah and he is my most favorite companion yet! we are just having fun working hard and laughing the whole time. YES! our church building is right by the temple actually, but the temple is closed on Mondays.......I was pissed but we have a temple trip this next month ( September) by the way ill be turning 20 here in a few weeks. Can you believe it? anyways I was wondering if you could tell me the recipe for the glaze grandpa puts on his lemon cakes....I was wondering. I think I know, but im not for sure. So anyways. Yep im doing well. Im tired,b ut hey. thats to be expected right? hahaha love you dad.
