Mission Report

Travis will be reporting his mission this Sunday, August 23rd at our Stake Center at 9 am.  All are welcome.

He's Baaaaacccckkkk!!!

 

THE END

So it's been 2 years of struggle and strife, of pain and shortcomings. 2 years of awesome!!!
I hope all of you have enjoyed this trip as much as I have and I hope y'all will stay tuned for Part 2 starting 2016 when Tyson goes out on a mission!
I know that I have made a difference here in Ghana. And I know that I have touched the lives of many people!
One challenge I have for all of you out there... I would challenge you to read the Book of Mormon and Ask God if its true. Doesn't matter if your LDS, or any other Christian denomination.  Doesn't matter if you don't believe in God, or you hate church.  I dare you to read that book. It's interesting hearing things from back home and hearing what people there think is happening in Africa. Being here I've been able to see how ignorant a lot of our claims are.  It works in reverse too.  A large quantity of Ghanains are ignorant about America. So it is inside and out of the church. People are ignorant. I know that the book of Mormon is true and whether you do or not what do you have to lose? A few minutes? A few hours? Nothing of consequence I'm sure, but no one will lose knowledge.  No one will get dumber reading this book. If nothing else it's got some nice stories inside. If your afraid that's fine, but remember your 20 year old friend almost died in Africa because of this book.  Don't let him almost have died in vain :P
I love you guys so much and thank you all for your support!!!!!
See you soon!!!!!

Love Elder Travis Scott Legg

Odds & Ends & Last Minute Ramblings

Haha no I think I should be ok... I'm not totally sure but I think so . I have like 500 cedis saved up and it should buy a bit i just hope it gets everything I want.

Ty: That's so sick dude your doing all sorts of sweet stuff! We will have to do something cool next week!

Dad: Haha don't worry we will do some relaxed hunting trip or something this year so that should be a good activity :)

Yeah ill see you really soon!

Hmm we shall see I guess. First I need to figure out if I will be in school or what over the summer. (Being a BYS counselor)

That sounds just like such a fun trip you are going to have to tell me all about it when I get back!
What the what even he is going there, that's so weird! Oh well now we just have to get him there!
YEah those kids aren't serious! They need to be more careful! Are you sure I cant get a motorcycle? I'll always wear a helmet.  (I said no way) Hehe ok ok if you say so! Then I guess I'll work on getting a car ugh. Yeah let's not get a new truck! We don't need that get me a new car!!! Or dad a new car and I'll drive the focus! That would be way sick!!!!

Gracie hehe don't let her see her room until I get back and we can see it together ;)

Ty Good luck bro! Get everything ready for me to get home!

Hey mom can you have that chocolate peanut butter ice cream in the freezer when I get back? and some pot stickers? (Today got 4 containers of the ice cream, getting Pot Stickers tomorrow)

The ice cream and pot stickers will be for my midnight snack and breakfast!!!!!! woop woop!!!

Nope the internet isn't fast enough to see it here but I think I can see it in a few days! (Gracie learned to ride a bike in OR & we sent him the video)

Oh my goodness goobers! That's awesome! (Taylor & Tali arguing through email to Trav)

I'm not sure if I will go to kalli's, like I want to, but I also want to go to our ward.. we shall see when the time comes. We start at 10 right? Maybe I can go to both? Ok I'll decide Saturday where I will go.
Yeah I emailed him and told him to come. My goal is to have more people than any other return missionary!!!  see you friday!
You can just bring your cute selves... ok and a junior bacon cheese burger!!! or ice cream... or pot stickers... ok no we will have to do that Saturday, just bring yourselves! (I asked what he wanted at the airport)

Everyone should come to the airport, not everyone should come to dinner, but if most people want to then that's ok!
Yeah just you wait! It's going to be pretty sweet when you see me in my normal proselyting wear! Just be careful my trousers will be really tight,  and I already tore them last week!
I'm strong enough for anything! (I told him I might tackle him at the airport)
I lost 20 lbs, so I went down to 145 but I'm still pretty big, I think I've gained most of it back. I eat a ton now so it should be ok.
My hair is pretty long, so be ready for that. I was going to get it cut in June but then I was in the hospital! And I saw tyler's hair and I didn't want that so I just left it. It was just too short, I'm more of a long hair guy.But I'll get a haircut in like December! December so I can get a special haircut before Star Wars comes out!

I have 4 trou left, 1 has red oil spilled all over it from service, 2 have split crotches, and the last one I pooped in last night on accident :) So I'm getting my really slim black ones fixed today! Yeah I want to go clothes shopping or to steal a bunch of Tys'.
I will be no jacket and short sleeve shirt and my surprise mystery item :)
Nope my mystery item is not a monkey, nor is it a red carpet but there is some red on it!
No not those pants. The red oil stains are on my khaki trou. We had a big stake men cooking eating party, They use red oil a lot for cooking here.
Um seeing that many white people is going to freak me out for sure but no problem I'll get over it! (at the airport)
BBQ would be sick!
I don't really need an open house, maybe a big family dinner at our house after my home coming talk?

Hahah oh goodness mother I'm just glad everything has been a success! I hope I can touch someone's life back home. I didn't see your half of the past 2 years, but I hope I made a difference. (I told him he always makes a difference in my life)

Hehe are they good differences or bad differences? 

We played some football, then washed some clothes,not me of course. Then we are here emailing! Later I'll go eat some oatmeal!

I'ts just strait white oats that I'll add strawberry flavoring and sugar to.

Yeah I scored like 5 of the 5 goals I think? It was sick we, got to play on a big field with big goals instead of the normal small stuff!

Now are you going to be that vigilant with Tyson and Taylor? (emailing each week)

Or am I the favorite so you treat me the best?!!!

So who is really the favorite mom? (I told him they are all my favorite)

You can't say we are all your favorites!! That's like saying all the churches are correct as long as they are worshiping God. Which is not true!!! 

Hehe oh man just wait until Tay, Ty, and I have our male dominance fights! It is so on!!!

Yaayyyyyy I get home soon!!!! (They wrestle, & Tay said he won't wrestle him but wants to race him in a mile)

And Tay is a pootinany, who said he was running on the beach and what not. I haven't done anything in 2 years! Man up I'll take you all on at the same time!!!

I've decided I'm watching frozen on Friday night so get that ready too... unless I'm really tired but  I doubt it!

Hospital Trip Number 2‏

So sorry this has taken so long to get to you............... but here it is!

So you're aware, hopefully, of what happened the first time I was in the hospital. I got out of there on Saturday and laid around for 3 days. Then I went full speed ahead. My new area had so any wonderful people I felt guilty giving anything less than the small 100% that I had. So we went out Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I had to do a little extra resting in the morning, but I was ok. When I woke up Friday morning I could tell something was wrong, and so could the other guys in my apartment. I decided I'd take a small nap and if I felt better when I woke up then we would go out. I slept for 7 hours woke up and started vomiting. Sadly the only thing I had eaten was sokings, which is dried kasava all groud and then made like malto meal but cold. So I just vomited a bunch of gnasty grainy kasava!. I called President and told him something was wrong. I started taking an oral set of malaria treatment that we had at the apartment. I needed some anti nausea medicine so I called some apartment mates that were out and asked them to bring me some. When they got home they couldn't stop giggling. They told me to read the instructions. The medicine that they had bought was not to be taken orally, but they were rectal capsules... yeah so of course to stop my nausea I die not take the pills, but I just toughed it out. By the time Sunday came around Doctor Hill the mission doctor is in my ward and wanted to do a check up on me. He was concerned because I was unable to stand for more than a few minutes. I was really pale, and even though I had been sitting under a fan in cold weather for 90 minutes I was still sweating profusely. He wrote me up a lab test sheet and told me to go to the hospital the next morning and get tested.

That next morning Elder Baguley and I went to the hospital, got me some blood drawn, then went and bought a new battery for his camera. We were able to visit Elder Van De Graff in his room where he looked like he was going to die from either malaria, or enjoyment. His urine was almost black, but his mini fridge was full of food and stuff. Also his television was working all day long and his bathroom had hot water. It was sweet! By the time I got back I was ready to pass out. I told my companion I needed to sleep before we could do anything. I woke up 4 hours later to a missionary shaking me telling me President wanted to talk to me. I go the phone and president told me to pack my bags and get back to the hospital in an hour and that I was going to be there for a few days.

We  finally got there and I had to go to the emergency room to meet a special doctor there who was going to admit me. I felt kinda bad because all these.. like 3 or so people were coming in and out as emergencies and I looked perfectly fine. I got hooked up to another IV, but we had to wait for the nurse to be free to take me to a room. I said a little prayer asking that I could get a single room like Vandy's, or one a little bit bigger. I tell you what, God really does answer prayers! When I got to my room it was directly across from Vandy's, but mine was a little bigger with a bit better bathroom and more couches. hehehe.

I was hooked up to an IV and received another set of malaria treatment and they got me on an oral treatment too. From Monday night until Friday afternoon I was stuck in bed.... sorry guys it's just still funny because yes I was severely sick, but compared to how I was, I started to feel great, and I just got to chill with the Television all day long :) Don't get the wrong idea. I still had to sit to urinate and I had to lay down in the bathtub to shower, but I was in bed most of the time just doin my thing!

After I got out I just went home baptized some people and continued proselyting!
One day the Sanders brought Vandy and I KFC and we hung out with them for a little while.
One night I woke up to my IV pouch pouring water on me because I rolled over and yanked my IV out that was pretty scary! A couple times my IV got backed up with blood, and that was not nice.
Now I'm not really up to snuff, but you can't really tell. I try to keep the suffering inside so I can do what I'm supposed to. I'm still tired a bunch, but I struggle sleeping.  My poops are poorly colored and really runny,,, in fact I may or may not have pooped my pants last night, but no big deal. But on the outside I'm cool and collected!
So is the tale of the Dying missionary :)

I Don't Think You're a Failure, Are You?

I'm workin on it, (a health update) the network has been down for like 4 weeks, so we are running on a network that should only support 1 computer, but is trying to hold up 10 of them!!!

Yeah my liver function was like double what it's supposed to be, but yeah it was improvement because at first it was like quadruple! (liver test results)

I don't know what they have a Chuck O Rama. I had wanted Golden Corral because it has tons of different types of food... I guess if Chuck O Rama is better it's fine. I'd kinda rather Golden as far as I know. (Chuck O Rama is much closer to the airport.  So I was just trying to get him to food sooner)

Yep I just found that out when Sam emailed me and then I told you, wow I look like a total bum because Sam had already talked to Tyson about knowing Vandy's family. Ugh oh well. That's sick! I want Sam to get with Vandy's sis because she's a cute girl and her last boyfriend was a goob and Sams wayyy better!!!

Tali: Are you excited to go to Oregon? Or would you rather go to Mexico with mom and dad & Tyson? Personally I would choose Mexico because I am much more used to that weather now! Good luck with selling your hats!

Tay: Wow cousins just like you and Hunter that's sick! Glad you guys had tons of fun at BYS! How did Tyson like it? Do you know if he was a good counselor?

Yeah so that's sick for Gracie, I didn't realize when she was collecting the driftwood that she was making wind chimes!

Man Cancun is going to be so sick! You guys are going to have so much fun. Have a great time mom, dad, and Ty.  You will love your trip! Make the most of it!  (Graduation trip to Riviera Maya)

Ok so here's the deal mom........ you don't need to stress yourself too much about emailing next week. BUT just to inform you........ you have never missed a week of emailing thus far, and you only have 2 more chances to email me like this. So if you fail on the 2nd to last time emailing it will be a terrible fail.  And I don't think you're a failure, are you? No? Ok then email me this coming week :P (I was worried about how I'd contact him from Mexico. Knowing I hadn't missed a week emailing, and knowing that he knew that I hadn't missed. But I figured out how to get an email or 2 out to him, so I wasn't a terrible failure :) )

Nah I'm cool with anything! (I asked him if he had any souvenir requests for us) Yeah I have almost all my African fabric things made, I still have your gift, my gift, and the family's gift in the making. But other than that everything else seems to be coming along.  Next week, Wednesday, I'll go to the art market and get some wood stuff and some kente stuff.

Umm not sure yet.(getting a job)  I have the when down.. start of October. I was thinking I'd apply at like some law firms or some of the hospitals around for a travel abroad doctor.

Sweet Sanders

Hi Sister Legg,
  So good to hear from you.  I'm sorry I don't read myLDSMail email account very often as you can see.  I use my personal gmail account for all emails but have kept this account open just in case.  Now I'm sure glad I checked this today.
  You are so kind to send us your appreciation.  Thank you.  We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know your wonderful son.  He is an amazing young man and a wonderful Missionary.  He kept such a great attitude through his entire ordeal and was always thankful.  I can tell he has been taught by a great mother.
  We try to do some things with the missionaries who don't feel good to get their minds off how they feel.  Since KFC is the only US fast food in Ghana, it is a simple choice what to purchase.  Both your son and the other sick Elder from their mission were really excited to get some wonderful tasty food they recognized.  I had both Elders come into one room and we had a little picnic.  The nurses couldn't figure out what was going on because that never happens here.  To say the least, the time was very special for all involved and fun as can be.  Even though both Elders didn't feel good, it brightened their day and it was worth every minute.
  I'm happy for you to have your son return shortly.  I'm sure it will be a great reunion.  Best wishes and thank you.  Elder and Sister Sanders from Layton, UT

Doxy Makes Me Puke....... A Lot

Yeah I'm feeling alright now. I just have abdominal pains a lot but other than that it's ok.

Ok well that's way sweet of you to recognize them like that! (Emailing to thank the doctor and couple who took care of him at Nyaho) Thanks for always being the best mom!!!

Hey that's fantastic! Finally he is getting himself together!!!

Yeah I don't want to sell bug spray!!! Yeah imma get a better job!... (We shall see)

When am I getting a smart phone? (He's a little excited about this, since he hasn't had one before)

Yeah... can we get the other type of anti malaria meds? Doxy makes me puke... a lot

Funny thing is doxy is, in fact, a med that we use back home fore acne, but for acne it needs to be a higher dose. So it's lame weak sauce!

Hehe yeah imagine what would have happened if I did take doxy and got sick! Because that happens way more often than missionaries getting sick without taking it.

Haha not really because the dosage is too low to do anything.(I asked if at least his face is cleared up) I need to take 2 or 3 pills a day and my body can barely handle 1.

Yeah he's a nice guy hes trying to help, still not my favorite fellow though.

By the way if you want to get in contact with Elder Van De Graff's family the Heads know them. I'm not sure if they are in the same ward or what but if you contact Sam he could definitely get you in contact with them! 

Can you find out about me meeting with President Evans after I get home and getting released and what not. That night after dinner would be ideal.

Yeah probs like 8-9 is when I'll be back and free.  And maybe his house or the stake center? Why don't you call him? It'd work better than an email :)

Nothing really urgent just want to know the deets about me getting released!

Ok enjoy your meal with them because soon you will be going to lunch with me a lot because we haven't gotten together all 2014 or 2015!!!! (I was excited to be going to lunch with my BSU girls & haven't seen them in a whole year)

Yeah people can come to dinner with us! (after we pick him up at the airport)

On The Mend

7/15/15

As a follow up to the voice message I just left, I went with your son to his follow up doctor’s  appointment. Everything seems like it is back to normal. Your son said he gets tired but less so  every day. The doctor encouraged him to continue taking folic acid (Vitamin C ) and said that would pass. The doctor requested a liver function test just for documentation purposes and said that from observation he could see things were okay. The results of the test will be available tomorrow.

7/16/15

Liver function test results are back. Results are good. All values in normal range or improving. Your son also told the doctor the tiredness is improving. Good news.

I'm Doing Everything I'm Supposed to & I Will Be OK

Yeah I know a lot of missionaries here that have had malaria and to be honest mine and Vandy's case was one of, if not, the worst case I have ever heard of. If I hadn't been forcing myself to eat and allowing myself to vomit so much then I would still be in the hospital right now and I would have needed the blood transfusions. I know that you and mom need me to be ok so I have done everything I can to get better. I feel so sick when I drink and eat but they say it will help, so I do it. They say I need to go out and do stuff to build up my energy so I do even though I get massive headaches and I almost pass out all the time. But I will be ok I'm doing everything I'm supposed to and I will be ok.

Top Goal Scorer was Walking Around Zombie Status With Low Blood Levels

Yeah don't worry it is coming. Right now the internet is absolutely

terrible and I'm trying really hard to try to get back to everyone that

had to extend their sympathies. Ok ok I will be trying soon to send 

you all exactly what happened but I just don't have time right now I

am coming. I got you guys pretty well the details of the first hospital trip

so soon I will get you the details of the second hospital trip!

Yeah so I'm sick but I'm getting better, president Hill didn't think it
was malaria until we went to the second hospital a week later. It's
been pretty rough, but I had a wonderful time at the second hospital.
Once we stopped dealing  as much with president and started
working with the missionary health adviser and a doctor couple from
the other mission things got a lot nicer because they cared
and wanted to help.

Ok so for right now I am ok you don't really need to do anything. I
just had a severely resistant strain of malaria, and I was poorly
treated for it at first. The West African missionary doctor was in
Ivory Coast for the first week we were in the hospital and that was a
big part of the problem. He got back and found out about us and was
really mad. So he got us into a nice hospital and got us proper care. I
just finished my 4th set of malaria treatment, 2 oral sets of Coartem,
and 2 sets through an IV. I got to meet with a really qualified doctor
who is some sort of internal specialist, so she helped a lot and that
was good. The second trip to the hospital was waaayy nicer. I spent 5
days in the hospital with my own room, a mini fridge, a television,
and air conditioning. That was really nice. I had nice people coming to
visit me every day and I even got KFC delivered, and we had a small
party in Elder Van De Graffs room.
For right now I should be ok, now that people with actual medical
experience are on my case. I will be coming home when my mission is
finished. You can all probably just relax. At this point the only
thing we are watching is if my liver damage doesn't improve or my
hemoglobin level drops. If the first happens I will get on some
medicine or something. And if the later happens I will get a blood
transfusion. I would have gotten one already, but it's a lot harder for
us to get blood through the church. We need to know the donor and know
all their background information.  The other missionary has already had one
blood transfusion and he will be getting another one. I'm doing good
because I ate more. So I vomited more, but I got more nutrients in my body.

The people that we are getting blood from are like the senior

missionary couples so the blood is clean. We only will do it with our

own blood. I won't have a blood transfusion unless my hemoglobin level drops

and at this point that shouldn't happen.

When the malaria parasite enters your liver it

transforms into a blood attacking liver destroying parasite. The urine

becomes closer to a brown color because all of your red blood cells

are getting attacked and you urinate out all of the dead ones. The

only reason my urine clear is because I pee like a thousand times a

day trying to flush out my system. I woke up 5 times just last night

to pee and my urine is still more yellow than it should be. In low

quantities it looks clear but when the whole urine is gathered it

looks pretty dark.

But I should be ok don't worry. I am in my area right now.

Yeah I just got called from pres hill this morning about it woop woop!!!!! Sooo

excited! Now I can come home early and it doesn't really have to be for

sickness :) (his travel itinerary change that I got back on the 9th)

Tali: Keep cleaning those carpets! I want to come home to a clean house!

Quick save them don't let them die out there all alone!!! (our friends truck 

broke down and Tali & Scott went to rescue them)

Tay:haha Yeah 4th of July here wasn't a big deal, we kinda missed it

but glad you loved it! Yeah imma have to pack pretty soon too hehehe sooo

awesome! I'm so pumped I'll be home really soon!!!

Ty: We played a nice match of USA versus Ghana today and we won

9-2 which was cool because the top goal scorer was walking around

zombie status with low blood levels :) hehe yeah I was the zombie, and 

umm its not low blood sugar, it's low blood, my hemoglobin is suuper low. 

It should be around 15 and I'm at 8 or 9 :) BYS sound like its

going to be fun!

Ok so first there are 2 Hills. Prez hill and Doctor hill. Doctor hill

is the West Africa mission medical adviser. And he has been really

helpful! He was pretty much the only reason I got real treatment.

President hill visited me at the hospital like twice when I was

there the second time and once the first time. The medical people

from the other Accra mission visited me like 5 times and bought me KFC,

and they don't even have to have anything to do with me! They were

really nice. pres and his wife don't like them. They are the

Sanders. President seemed pretty annoyed when he talked to me too, but

that's ok because when I was chilling with Doctor hill he was pretty

mad  and felt that he was being irresponsible and not good it was nice.
I'm still disappointed in President Hill with how 

he is handling it, even now, but he can do his own thing.

He has gotten an earful from Salt lake telling him to contact mom.

so hopefully he called you, he told me that he called you.

I'm glad he finally did something. He feels it is better to

withhold info so that you don't freak out. I think its better to be

honest so you don't have to worry.

Me and Dr hill talked about it and he said he can't contact you.

He really wants to and he feels like he should be able to, but he can't.

First I was in Deseret hospital Wednesday to Saturday, then the next

week I proselyted all week from Tuesday to Sunday, then I went to

Nyaho clinic from Monday to Friday. The specialist isn't at Nyaho.

She just kinda works around. I'm not sure if I'll see her on this Wed.

But I will see a doctor who was in charge of my case. All of the

parasites should be dead at this point. The only thing that is wrong

at this point is the liver damage and my blood trying to grow back, but

that can't happen until my liver heals. Yeah all the info I want to

learn I get from Doctor hill. He told me all the good stuff.

I got out this past Friday and I have been in my area since then.

Moving all my stuff up would be sweet mom thank you so much you're the best!!!

(doctor, dentist, eye dr appts)

Yeah well I'm ok so that's the big news right now!!! 

Don't worry as long as I don't have a fever I will be ok. I still

have 2 weeks to relapse! Worse than me was a missionary that came from

the other mission that goes home in 1 week and he crashed his bike and

now doesn't remember the past year of his mission!!!

I got that when I got out of the hospital the first time. thank

you so much you're the best!!!! (the very last package I sent him)

Update

7/11/15
Since I had not heard from you and in case you may not have seen my earlier note, l  thought I would send another email letting you know that your son was released from the hospital yesterday. He told me the doctor requested a routine follow up visit on Wednesday.

7/12/15
I will be happy to update you on the follow up visit once it occurs. I spoke to him this morning and he said he feels great, just gets tired more easily than usual. I asked him to pace himself and rest as needed.

Tired But Feeling Well

Sent:

Fri 7/10/15 3:49 PM

Your son was released from the hospital today and has gone back to his apartment. The antibiotics he received along with his own natural immune system have kicked in and there is no remaining infection. In addition to the anti-malarial medications he received through an IV, he has also completed a regimen of additional medications to ensure he malaria is gone. He will have a follow up visit with the doctor next week just as a precaution. I spoke to him just a few minutes ago and he said that he is tired but feeling well.



Please let me know if you have any additional questions that I might address.

No Infection or Malaria Detected

Sent: Thu 7/09/15 2:34 PM

Good news. At this point, the malaria and infection are gone. His own immune system has kicked in and he is doing well. No infection or malaria detected. He will likely get released from the hospital  tomorrow and go back to his area. His apartment has some supportive missionaries who can help monitor things as well, if needed, but at this point he is doing fine.. I will also encourage him to ease back into a normal day—take it easy for a while. Of course, Dr. Hill and I will both check in with him in the coming days to ensure that everything is progressing as expected.

Urine Is Clear!!

Sister Legg,

I am so sorry that you did not receive these two previous emails. As I said on the phone, I will send you an email each day for the next few days. Please let me know anytime you have questions or would like to visit further on the phone about your son’s progress.

President Hill

Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2015 7:18 PM
Sister Legg,

I saw your son a few minutes ago and he is doing well. He says he is tired but otherwise said he feels fine. He is being treated for malaria but looks well, is eating well, and improving his strength. His urine, sometimes an indicator of a problem, is very clear which is also a good sign.  

Please let me know if you have any questions that I could answer.

President Hill

Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2015 12:09 AM

Sister Legg,

I received an email today that you and your  Stake President were inquiring about your son’s health. Since you and I have corresponded directly in the past, please feel free to write to me on any questions you may have if you wish to do so.

Your son was in the hospital for malaria last week and was treated and released last weekend. He and I have talked almost every day since then and he told me that he mostly felt  good Monday to Friday, but sometime on Friday he began to feel weak and tired and his urine was darker than normal.  Since he was still having some problems, we decided to have additional lab work done today (Monday). Based on that lab work, he may still have malaria so he was readmitted to the hospital this evening about 9 pm and will undergo further testing and possible treatment in the next few days.

He is in very good spirits and does not look sick or unhealthy. I think he may have played sports today. While malaria is certainly something to watch and get treated, he is not in any imminent danger. I will keep you updated on his status as things progress in the next few days. Please let me know anytime you may have any questions.

Holy cow Ty is now an Elder!!!! Flip that's insane! I wasn't even thinking about that and now he's already that huge?!
Yeah I am trying to plan the best way that I can come through those doors. I was thinking I would bring a big old red carpet with me so that I could have someone roll it out as I walk elegantly or something cool like that so you can see my post mission glow :P (I've told him to run through the glass doors at the airport when he comes home)

Ty:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the heck man getting ordained an Elder! now you can go about healing the sick and raising the dead! That's freaking crazy bro!!!! Yeah i never really went to FHE or Institute but I'm totally down to go if you wants to take me!
