Almost completed 8 months

I am going to try to put the sound recording at the bottom if you miss the sound of his voice and want to hear a little bit of Spanish. Surprisingly I have not heard much Spanish from him and may request that he do that in the next few weeks. I love the growing up the missionaries do while they are out. They mature at a much quicker rate than most other young men and they come home Men! I would like nothing more than to let my children be trained in the Gospel at this crucial time.



I trust you will be able to catch a little business from the sound
files. A little innovation I´m trying out. Tell me if they work,
please. It could be the greatest thing ever. Even if my voice does
sound punky. Important points : I´m going to get a CD player so I can
request stuff, and also because there´s less danger of getting robbed,
and stuff... better explained in the sound file. Also, if you happen
to send camera, send a memory card too, maybe. They´re expensive here.

Two sets of Scripture Mastery stickers!! Elder Silva really really
really wants them.

Anyway.

I just wrote to the President that if I realized as much about
everything and grew up as much as I did this week, I´d be about 92
years old at the end fo the mission. It was like a dream. I got more
and more information every day about my weaknesses and strengths. I
have become intimitely aquainted with my need for the Atonement and
the help of God. I once was convinced God doesn´t really do anything
to change the course of our lives. It was all set from the beginning,
yes, but to say we don´t need His help is a lie to ourselves. (See one
of my favorite Bible books, 1 John (not the Gospel of John))

See that? I just cited Bible. I've discovered one of my skills in this
work which is uncommonly elevated. (I say this to tell you of God´s
help, not my pride.) With a good amount of study, I am finding myself
more and more hungry to learn the Scriptures. That study has produced
a lot of understanding. I am getting to the point where I have four or
five available scriptures for every point of doctrine memorized and
ready, including background information. I can tell you roughly what
happens in every chapter of the Book of Mormon up to Alma, and I´m
still going. You should see the density of my marking. All that´s
something I have. I´ve also gotten complements on my technical use of
Spanish Grammar. All from study, and from God.

Let me tell you of the key to all of it. Go into every situation with
the goal of helping other people. Do it not in an idealistic, mindless
way, but rather specifically, and fearlessly. As a missionary, it´s
easy in lessons, for example, but when we go to meetings, it´s easy to
think, "I´m here to learn and contribute nothing." In divisions with
old missionaries, it´s easy to think, "I´m here to learn and
contribute nothing." Before the mission in Prinicple of the Gospel -
"I´m here to learn and contibute nothing." Have you ever thought that
not commenting in class could deprive someone of an answer for which
they´ve been looking? Be a blessing to everyone.

We did missionary stuff this week, but I barely remember what we said
or did. Randy´s words to me last week were exactly right. Being on his
level, the "promenade deck," is there for everyone who will climb the
stairs. I think I´m going to remember always "right before I completed
8 months" as when I figured out how to be me, really, and who God
wants me to be, which are one and the same.

I´m physically sitting in front of a computer, but I´m spritually
standing on a tower raising a sword over my head. My God is a God of
Victory.

Love,
Elder A Conrad Crist


I will work on getting this figured out.

A Sign

This is what I have been praying for actually. That Alex would see something or hear something that would let him know that God was aware of him and that he was in the right place, right now. A small, unassuming decal on a bus window. Amazing! I love how when we are at the most needy that God shows himself and let's us know that He is there.





Grandpa said in his letter that I could be in the hardest part of the mission right now. I could believe that. Or that maybe it peaked on Saturday.

We did our planning on Saturday. The whole week was awful. Seriously awful. We got stuffed, people didn´t show up, it was really cold, we barely did any contacts, and our lessons were cut short by different problems. When we got to the part when we talk about each other as people, Elder Silva wrecked me. He said I´d barely helped him do anything the whole week, especially in lessons, that I didn´t know where I was going half the time, that I was too timid with people, that I always forgot things, and that I seemed unfocused. He was absolutely right. (I am glad for someone who is willing to just say things like that, even though the natural man wanted to punch him out.) That day I was devastated. I barely ate at lunch. Spanish was clunky. I didn´t get what I could do to help myself.

Do you know what that feeling was? That´s what it´s like to not have the Spirit, in this case because of fear and lack of faith. I promised God I would do everything He wanted me to, after the manner of President Hinckley. I still felt like I was nothing.

I was looking out the window of the bus. There was a little brand decal in the corner. It was something like this:

Glass - Vidrio - Vedri
Hecho en Brasil
CRISTALEX
---------------------

Do you know what really struck me about that little decal? Look carefully at the brand´s name. Could that possibly have been a coincidence?

Since then nothing has happened, save improvement. I´m just a little closer to understanding what to be here. I have learned one thing, though. Look at a picture of Jesus and watch what feelings come to your mind. Fear because of timidity or laziness? The way is there for you to look at Jesus and smile and have no fear.

Anyway, it´s very cold new. I have cold hands all day, and people don´t stop commenting on them. We´re coming up on jacket-with-sweater days, finally. I looked forward to it the whole summer, and now I want a little more sun. I do get to drink fake coffee more, which I like, and I´ve recently discovered oats, but sometimes you want to type fast, and when your hands are cold they just won't go. It was funny earlier because my left hand was colder than the right, so they would type at uneven speeds so my words would come out like establsihmetn, for exampel. See, it happened again.

I saw Elder Mann on Thursday. He was even thinner. We reminisced about our investigators, blisters, and how he taught his companion to say "Don´t be a fag." Great.

This is week six in Melipilla, the best week of my mission so far.

Amor y toda la cuestión,
Elder A Conrad Crist

That Shave Secret stuff is amazing. I ran out of shaving cream, and I thought, "Well, I can´t really buy more until next Monday, so I guess I´ll give this snake oil a try." It turned out better than any other thing I´ve ever tried.

Thanks for the socks, they were very needed. (I got that package)

You know what would be cool?
Pocket knives that have tweezers and stuff like that are expensive here.
Pictures - St George, new things that are happening, Family that´s not you guys (sorry), that picture with AJ with Kato when he´s smiling, preferentially outdoors
American coins - doesn´t matter which. People think they´re cool.

Still Adjusting!

I have had in my head that Alex is struggling a bit. Is it Mother's intuition or just that I know him? I want him to get all he can out of his mission and hope that he does. I do believe he just needs to get out of his own way. He does all that he can, knows how to do, loves doing, etc. I think the mission field is harder on the missionaries than they really let on. I know he loves it but I also know he likes doing more stuff than what he is doing. It has to be a huge adjustment even when he has been out for 7 months. Keep the Faith Alex, We love you!


I haven´t the slightest idea what to put. This week has been like three hours long. And it´s week five now. I´ve been in Melipilla for a month. That doesn´t seem possible.

We had another baptism on Saturday. He wanted a small service, so we made it small. I forgot my camera that day, so I´ll get to those pictures later.

I´m sorry, I´ve just got the "stupor of thought" today, it seems.

We found a great investigator the other day. She made it to Church this Sunday, having know us only four or five days. I´d say that's pretty good. She still lives with her ex-husband, who, after she paid for operations that saved his life, minimizes and demeans her all day. In Chile, if no one can pay, the person dies, by the way. She's since developed a little alcohol problem to compensate. But the words of Alma 7:11-13 really got to her. It´s hard for her to imagine God planned things the way He did in her life, because to her it´s almost unbearably depressing. Remember that conference talk? - "Who's the gardener here?"

I had to teach the Gospel Principles class, which would have been fine, except for it being a zero-preparation improv jam session. I though the class was half as long as it was, so I did a short thing about the mission of Jesus Christ, 1 Start the Church, 2 Teach the New Law, 3 Effect the Atonement. It went fine, but when I go to the end, I asked Elder Silva how much time remained to see how long the testimony could be - 20 minutes. I stood there for an agonizing twenty seconds, then looked at Elder Silva with my eyebrows raised. Luckily, we occasionally work together, he and I, and he got the message - "I´m out." Without things looking too awkward, we made it look like we´d planned to each take half, and we just switched places. I did a little Kip "Yesssss," and he went on to an oddly polished portion about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is to say, what we need to do to merit his mercy.

Mónica is going to be baptized the sixteenth. That´s in five days, I think, on a Saturday. I don´t know what happened, but it´s going to happen now. She was supposed to write to me and Elder Silva like two weeks ago. I told her I was going to write angrily if she didn´t. Maybe I´ll just do a Billy Mays ALL CAPITAL LETTERS letter.

I´m starting to see another form of trial we face in life. It says "Love your neighbor as thyself." - not less, which is usually the problem, but also not more. It seems to me at times that everyone and their dog is doing better than I did or am doing. The answer probably lies in the forgetting of one´s self, but like the Chileans say, "Me cuesta" - it costs me. I´ve spent too much time in my own head in my life, and it´s a hard change to make. If there was anything I´d tell people to do to be ready for missions, I would give them two things: learn to follow the Spirit before the mission, and learn to think about others - before the mission. Ideally the mission would be almost 100% useful time, so anything you can not have to learn here helps. The gospel you probably know already. Being audacious with people comes more from caring about them than from some training camp you can go to to learn how to contact and teach. I´ve had to come from almost nothing to where I am, which is still not satisfactory.

It's becoming increasingly obvious to me how much we need Jesus. I think of a toaster popping up when I consider trying to go to heaven without Him. "Plink!" Toast. I´ve gotten to the point a few times where I say, "I don´t know why You´d forgive me for this, but could You one more time?" And he takes it right there. I love when Mormon says he "tasted and knew of the goodness of Jesus." I´m getting to that understanding.

I´m sure I´ll read this after the mission, or even in my next sector and mark it as one of the more depressed times of the mission, and that it all got better from there. President Hinckley made a covenant with the Lord to forget himself and work, and said his life hinged upon that descision ever after. There´s a big discovery I need to make somewhere. It´s frustrating, but hey, "Who´s the Gardener here, right?"

Maybe you should invent your own Elder Crist letters to publish. Mine are lame.

See you in May. Look forward to packages. I´ll probably send it after the call in May. I´m starting to look into scripture cases, more information next week.

A friend of mine records his voice with his camera on voice memo mode and sends that as a supplement. Look forward to that next week, for I will give it a try. See if I have an accent and stuff.


Rely on each other, and on Jesus.

Conference Week

I think Alex is feeling a little forgotten! It takes so long to get anything to him that I think many are not trying to. If you feel like you want to write to him, here is his address, alex.crist@myldsmail.net He will answer on Mondays if he can, otherwise he will snail mail you. Please remember him! He is far from home and in need of "Old Friends and Family." I think he would just like to know the everyday things. Whether that is happy or sad or whatever. He is out of the loop and misses everyone.




Could you print out the 100 pushups in (certain number) of days thing online to send next time?
Also, my zone leader has a LUMIX camera that´s really good.

Well, conference was pretty good. That´s kind of a joke, actually. That was a great conference. I would have sat there for another 10 hours for more of that level of advice in a second. I pretty much asked for the three last talks of priesthood. I asked for the talk before Elder Holland also. That one about pain was pretty good too.

It was fun the way we watched it. The english speakers got to watch it in English (Because, as we can read in.. where is it... I think it´s 2 Ne. 32. The Spirit speaks to a man in his own language.), which was a relief, because usually it´s Spanish speakers, down to Spanish notes, with Spanish jokes, etc.

I do hope you managed to watch all of them. I can´t look at the text until the Liahona comes out, so you can bet I was paying as much attention as I had. I am no longer convinced it´s a good idea to watch it at home in a really relaxed setting. If you were going to see, I don´t know, Jesus speak, even on TV, you´d probably sit up straight. You might even put on slightly nicer clothing, shower, and take notes aggressively the whole time. I´m just saying. Well, He is too.

Speaking of things you may want to preserve, you are hanging onto these emails... even printing them, right?

Let me tell you about those last three priesthood talks I requested. The priesthood in my life before now wasn´t a lot. God´s expectations weren´t a lot. Notice how it´s not capitalized. It´s a fun mormon tradition for some people. When you get out here, for example, to Chile, to the razor edge of the battlefront, the Prieshood is something that changes lives.

That´s not to say we don´t feel inadequate. I´m having a lot of problems with that very thing right now. Pretty much everyone I meet here seems better than I am, in the language, in attitude, and in teaching. Reading D&C 19 recently didn´t help terribly either. (Look at 15) I´ve had some major successes, but none of them had to be me in that situation - I don´t think I´ve uniquely affected anyone´s life - I don´t feel neccesary.

That´s hard stuff. I think I may have found myself sitting in a familiar little cabin on a cruise ship. Randy is up in a banquet hall, apparently. Just got to find the stairs.

--

What´s interesting is as I was just thinking about that, one came to my mind. Then another. Then another. God is not a merciless God.

Having run out of time, I´d like to leave that with you. I let the pictures tell you the dumb stories. I am going to bring a list of things to write next time. Make it less... lame.

Love,
Élder A. Conrad Crist
(note accent mark - it makes it cooler)

We´d just like Scripture Mastery from Seminary. Elder Silva would really like them because they´re almost impossible to get in Chile.

Make sure to keep me up on what you´re doing. Tell people that anyone who can claim a blood relation (or a lawful equivalent of the same) can email me and recieve a response, says my zone leaders. If people email and they aren´t, I just have to write them physically - no problem. Don´t forget about me! I feel pretty small here sometimes.

I actually don´t feel like a foreigner anymore, though. With regards to an accent, I don´t think so. The funny thing is, though, since I rarely do more than just speak a few hours a week to other missionaries (and to Elder Silva in his language study), my ability to write and spell has become labored. (Taking notes was rough in Conference) The way Spanish works breaks that American habit of dangling prepositions - it simply cannot be done in Spanish. So that´s actually an improvement to my English. Accent - not yet. Wrecked spelling (trying to spell everything like it sounds), yes.

Finally cold enough for hot chocolate!

I cannot believe how slow the mail gets to Alex! We shipped two packages on the same day. Mostly just to split the cost and we had a few things to send, but he has only gotten one of those. Crazy! He got one after like three weeks and then nothing. We have sent another one but hopefully he will get the others too! Just in case anyone ever wants to send something. Expect 6-8 weeks for delivery but hope and pray for faster.
Oh, and sorry no pictures this time! I guess they have to remember things in the morning and if they don't, they just do without. Like converters and such. Oh well! Hopefully next time
Riley(Alex's cousin) will be going to the Vina Del Mar, Chile Mission in June. That is just North of Alex but covers a very large area up to Antofagasta. That will be exciting for them when they come home and can totally speak to each other and all of that fun stuff. I am totally excited for them both!
We love you Elder Crist!




Business things:

No packages after socks yet.
A missionary on his way to the office to go home said I´ll want like 17 garments in the winter because they don´t dry very fast when it´s raining. So like three or four more, MT (medium tall), maybe one click smaller on the waist.
ªªªªªªUmbrella. Important! I need a good one, smallish, and very American in quality. Chilean ones tend to rust. In May, it´s going to rain extremely hard in three day spurts, probably until October.
Two copies of the scripture master scripture stickers (there are 100 in total, in packs of 25, I´d imagine.)(Elder Silva would really like them because they´re really, really expensive here)

Viña del Mar? I talk to people at times who have just been there on vacation! Flip, Kip. I´m sure suddenly they´re going to "remember" me and start asking what stuff to do to get ready. I can use any attention, so I welcome it. It sufficeth me to say for now, until asked more, that Chile is bakán. That´s Chilean (not Spanish - Chilean) for "sick" or "dope." You do not understand cheese until you´ve taken down a cheese empanada off the street from a guy with 4 teeth. Not to scare anyone, but Chilean spanish is the second fastest spoken Spanish dialect in the world, so you have that to look forward to. Oh, and it someone asks you if you want "guatita", say NO.

No, but seriously, Viña is where everyone goes to party, because it´s just so dang pretty and climatically perfect. I´d imagine the mission reaches into the country, but mostly against the beach. That´s awesome. The cool thing is he´ll go through the main building with his mission president that I used just today. (Elder Silva needed to see the doctor) Bakán!

On the other side of "bakán," Brennan almost blew my face off. I turned to Elder Silva and told him, and he just started laughing. He said, "Fetch, man- only missed it by a year." Yeah, exactly. The thing is, it could have been so easily true, based on Utah standards, I didn´t even consider joking. It actually would have been a little late for Happy Valley.

On the topic Melipilla, we had a baptism. Elder Silva actually did it. It was a great service, and I´m sure that between her, and her mom who´s already baptized, they´ll be active forever. I wasn´t terribly involved in teaching her, but we´ve had some moments.

Our big investigator happening now is Carlos Vargas, a construction worker (I think). He´s probably the best investigator ever, for he is both prepared for the gospel, and studies the material independently and well. He gives us a ten-minute summary of what he´s read of the Book of Mormon and the pampflets each time.

I just hope he can find what he needs in the Gospel. He attempted suicide, but now has changed everything about him. But now his ex-wife, with the court behind her, is messing him over. He made one mistake, and now he can´t get away from her. She manipulates his feelings for her and the kids to get more money from him. It´s scary, and it´s hard to deal with for us because we´re not really here to give him "professional-level" council and assistance on this level of thing. I don´t know what to really do, but I think what we´re doing is helping him understand the purpose of all these things.

I met the most interesting man Sunday. The teacher of Gospel Principles (here I am again with Gospel Principles) is a doctor in this ward. He has a way of teaching and thinking that are pretty much mine, evolved to where I want them to be. I´ve started to realize a few of the ways I approached commandments were "apologistic", let´s say. For example, a lot of the time we make Word of Wisdom like a thing we´d do even if it wasn´t revealed. We discussed why the Lord has prohibited coffee. People think - "It must be for the caffeine. God is trying to say "Caffeine."" But, we are apologizing for the Lord´s commandments by taking out conclusions that we don´t have the authority to take. The commandment is for coffee. Coffee. Coffee. We try to make the commandments make sense to men, but that´s not what they´re designed to do. For example.

Also, in the class, the question of why the Egyptian that Joseph Smith translated isn´t available to the public, but is rather stored by BYU came up. He explained a lot of stuff about the translation, why it would be difficult, and why people would mess it up, etc, but then he stopped. He said, "Look. You know why it is, really? Let´s go to Habbukuk." Habbukuk? What the heck is Habbukuk? In the first part, Habbukuk is asking God what the heck is up with the world. Then, chapter 2, verse 4. Look at what it says about faith.

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith .

That is why.

I feel pretty lame up against Randy´s thoughts. There´s that, though.

Oh, something funny. I´ve been teaching Elder Silva the ABCs. He now says "ema-ho-pee" like Abby did. Haha.

Love and stuff,
Elder A. Conrad Crist
(It looks more "Quorum of the Seventy" that way, don´t you think?)

Someone tell Grandma I can finally drink that hot cocoa because now it´s really cold in the morning.

(I´d just like to add that what they´re teaching you pretty much comes out of chapter ten and eleven of Preach My Gospel, if you want to get a jump on it.)

I´ll have to explain to you my version 4.1 marking system sometime. It´s awesome, and not complicated. Sufficeth to say, marking it makes it stick in your head better.

All I can say for now about music, without thinking over a few days, is SOUNDTRACKS that don´t have words. Gladiator´s is freaking amazing, for example. I´ll get back to you on that.

It's a whole new culture shock!

There has to be a way a mother can shield her children from the hardness and desperation of life. But I would never do it because of the little bits of hope and humanity and love from people in those situations. I have a few more pictures from Alex that show the 2nd-3rd worldness of where he is now. It really is very humbling. Yay for Elder Silva as well. Alex really liked and now likes him again. As the pictures show, he looks happy and good and truly like a missionary! Ok just to explain the photos. First is a picture of the front room in Milipellia. 2. Alex and Hna Campino's kitty 3. Hills in town of Milipellia 4. Studying scriptures with Pablo from Mirador 5. Flaites 6. Members house!?


I got sent to the campo. A one-hour bus ride out of Santiago later, I´m in a town called Melipilla. It reminds me of Moab, kind of. There are 90,000 people in the town and the surrounding farm/vineyard/minery type areas. There´s a middle of the city, like where I am. But if you walk a few minutes in whichever direction, you are getting into the fields and farms again. In stark, ridiculous contrast to the place I was in before, I am now responsible for 1/4 of the mission Santiago Chile West in area. That is not a joke. Our sector, Silva Chavez, is half the city, all the way out to rural communities up to a half our´s bus ride away.

All that crazyness is dampened by one thing only - Elder Silva is my companion. You may or may not remember him, but he was in my pension when I got to Chile. I know him pretty well already. But he knows no English, so if I speak English, I´m talking to myself here in Melipilla. Even so, it´s been fine, actually. My only problem these days is when I teach, I sum up things too fast and can´t think of more to say. I don´t know what the deal with that is. I don´t know if you´d know anything about that.

The work here is not as hard as it was in a perservering-through-tedium way, but it is much more demanding physically. It´s a very good thing (probably planned by the Lord) that I walked a lot in Mirador. Now we walk a lot farther, especially when the buses don´t arrive for no reason. This is a very second-to-third world area. Most people have cell phones with 20 or 30 minutes every two weeks, and have never heard of text messaging. A lot of them do not have running water, especially outside the city. It´s a whole new culture shock.

However, the people here are nicer. Way nicer. You know how those stereotypical country people are. They really are like that. They absolutely will not allow you to leave their houses hungry or tired. The food is very calorie dense because people here - including us - have a lot of physical work to do - which means it tastes better. They do a lot of homemade french fries, eggs, and rice. Also, toasted barley coffee-substitute (which we can drink, and I really like). And the biggest grapes I´ve ever seen... green ones like baby carrots and purple ones that would barely fit through your fingers if you made a hole with the thumb and forefinger.

Part of people being nicer is that we get people to teach more. We actually have four or five baptisms coming down the line within this next six weeks already. It´s pretty crazy, really. It´s so much easier here. Our leadership is all new, all newly trained, and they´re all ready to work.

I didn´t count myself as a Spanish speaker until a few days ago. If someone asked me, I´d now say yes. The higher level stuff is the most interesting. Joking is a totally new game in a different language. But now I can actually get to know people, and get into their problems. Elder Silva said the other day that we´re really not just missionaries. We´re also psychologists. That´s absolutely true. I can figure most people out pretty fast now, just because I´ve had so many tries. It helps you see how custom-made every person´s life is better them. I can testify to that, usually. When I´m not getting smashed. (Ether 12:7) But the ´smashed´ is something that helps too. (Ether 12:27)

Hopefully the pictures explain it too.

I´ll work on the shirt. There´s some pretty cool stuff in this town.

Cuídense,
Elder Alex C Crist

Japan Crisis

It is kind of hard to have stuff going on in the world and not even be able to talk to Alex about it. I miss his insight and intellect. And I am sorry but short little letters just don't seem to cut it. I am grateful for pictures however. He looks happy and well and time just keeps on ticking! No matter what.



It was kind of funny, actually, when I saw the earthquake the first time on a TV in an investigator´s house. I said "I actually have a friend doing the mission there," to which our sarcastic member friend said "Ya, no." - "Now, no." But then I thought about it. 9.2 is pretty hard, I believe. You read the email. They are pretty shaken up from everything. Randy is so inspirational now. Our sarcastic friend said now he´ll probably have an easier time. It´s kind of funny that things that can kill the body make people look for God. Like Jesus said, fear not those things that can kill the body, but can do nothing to the spirit. Fear he who can kill the spirit.

Well, this is week six of my third change, and we got transfer calls last night and... I´m gone. I am leaving tomorrow to some new place. I am missing the baptism of Mónica, which makes me crazy, but I am one of her official missionaries, so I get to visit her at the end of my mission. Yes!

She almost had an interview with President King on Satuday, but it couldn´t happen, so it´ll now be Thursday, baptised next Sunday. Elder Smith is staying here, and he will be training a new white guy. What a great start to a mission for that noob cake. I contacted without getting into a house for 6 days! (No complaints; good experience)

I´m afriad I´m running to go visit people. I did get some pictures for you, though. That´s Pablo, by the way. He´s Joey, basically. We got him into a great Seminary too, so we needn´t fear. We say at times that we get to take credit for all the people he baptizes on his mission in some four years.

Packing is kind of sad. Chile, yea, even missionary work is Mirador for me. I could be going a bus away, or a bus away (that takes two hours) I didn´t realize that I was a part of this ward until I starting leaving. I have real friends I want to hang out with forever. What happens if that happens everywhere? Too much friends. I´m glad for facebook after, I guess.

I need to go. Tengo que irme.
Me alegro que parecen bien. Esfuércense para hacer lo mejor posible. Nunca se olviden de quienes son, o lo que pueden llegar a ser.
Que les vaya bien,
Élder Alex C Crist

If you ever have questions, that makes it easier to focus. What have I written that you liked?

I´m still writing in my journal. I finished a book. Do you have any tips on what is interesting and what isn´t? Also, someone pitched me the idea of doing recorded audio or video interviews of the missionary upon returning in supplement. Just so you remember.

More socks, same idea

Have any thoughts about scripture marking?

Maybe print off the emails I send and your replies. Or just make sure you keep them. I guarantee someone will want to read it. Reading Dad´s was very cool.
