Mindi i loved the thing on C.S. Lewis. i always read your blogs and feel like an illiterate moron. day after day, instead of filling my mind with useful and uplifting knowledge, i am surrounded by the words of uneducated, classless teenagers
which are shouted at eachother by my ghetto kiosk. soon this will only be added to by the vocabulary of my fellow warehouse workers. yes i am the queen of white trash jobs. i guess ya gotta do what you gotta do. i've decided that to reverse the effects of mind-deteriorization i will just start listening to lectures on faith or jesus the christ on cd in the car instead of music. moving on. i just spent the best weekend in idaho at an unofficial mission reunion to celebrate a finnish holiday. there were about 15 of us at any given time. some weren't able to stay for the whole weekend so a lot of people just stopped in when they could. brind got off work at midnight on thursday and at about 1 am we hit the road. the festivities began that night with the best finnish food ever. i was so happy to eat rahka again i could cry. appearently someone thought that the best way to break the ice of the weekend would be to quish 12 returned missionaries that haven't seen eachother since wool tights, name tags and white handbooks into a 7 person hottub. it was pretty funny. we basically spent the whole weekend camping out, playing in the sun, speaking finglish and not sleeping at all. i'm so homesick for finland now. it was so nice to talk about the mission and see the other missionaries again. i miss it. anyways i'm back now and it's nose to the ol' grindstone again. i start my new job on friday so i'll be working one part time job and one full time job. we'll see how it works out. blog out
