To My Dog, Whom I Missed

Dear family, friends, and other associates for whom I have pity:

Okay, I'm just kidding. I'm not writing those people! :D

Today, I'm writing Daisy!

Dear Daisy:

I haven't heard enough from you lately. I feel that you may have forgotten me, but if that's not the case, I'm sure you're elated to be acknowledged for the first time in a few weeks.

You may not understand what a baptism is, considering you're never going to have to experience one, but I thought you might perk your ears a little at the news that Saturday we were able to help two young girls, Lisa Joseph (11) and Bree Rejouis (9), partake of that ordinance.

Do you remember the times I used to rub your belly? That's exactly how I've felt in this area every time the members feed us. They are some pretty good cooks in the area, and they aren't simply giving us plates to lick clean!

I remember one time you said, "Ar rar rar rar ar!" I think of it every time my companion speaks to me in Wookie. It's such an uplifting noise, don't you think? We have a lot of fun, Elder Rellaford and I. That's good too, because it helps me not to get homesick without you.

Truly, my puppy, I wish you could see the colors here. Florida is such a colorful place, especially in the areas where the people and their flags are more... colorful.

This week was great, Daisy, but I don't have much more to say that you'd understand. May you have a wonderful week, and think of me lots!

Elder Van Wagenen

PS Yes, I am aware that was ridiculous. :D

If you'd like to read the originals, feel free to comment. I may not share it, though. It'll depend on whether or not I trust you.

Randomness Intro

Randomness...that's the whole purpose of this blog. Alisa Rosner seemed in need of a bloggin buddy. So...Here I am! I'm going to basically put random stuff on here for a few days, weeks, years...however long I can remember I have it. I'll probably put my mad thoughts and contemplations. My pondering has been known to go a little far. So...if I ever threaten to kill someone important, or slaughter millions...I'm totally joking. Even to the point of running for an office to prove the opposite. I'll run for president, save millions and bring someone important back from the dead! I hope that cancels out the evil joke. You know what would suck? If for some reason my "radical" and "abnormal" views turned out to not be all that radical and abnormal. Why would that be a problem? Because I think I'd really try and run for president or emper- (coughing) Nevermind. So, Glenn Beck...He's human...or is he? Once I truly wondered that. Now I know. I am ...

Disagree with an Understanding

"I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves." - Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game When I was a teenager, my dad called me a political fanatic. I remember debating that claim until my face flushed and stars filled my vision. I sputtered about our government infringing on our rights and blathered about internet conspiracy. I argued passionately for the need of the government to be transparent to reveal the corruption hidden there. I felt like the world and its evils were against me, and I was ready to fight for what I knew was right. I've since calmed down some. I still have passion, but an LDS mission and these years of reflection and study have helped me learn a few lessons, change some ignorant views, and gain a new perspective on life and other people. This journey was personal, but what I learned along my way out of this type of fanaticism could help others escape overze...
