Messed up letters to Missionaries!

Dear Adam,

I just want to start by saying how much I still love and care for you but the truth is the moment your plane took off I ran into Elder Stevens. He was just returning from his mission in England. He asked me for my number and suggested that we meet up. I did and we started seeing more of each other. Occassionally, my mind would drift to you, but I figured that you were having fun with your companion and I needed some fun too. You need to concentrate on your mission thats why I'm only telling you a week before you come home so its not a shock.

I'm engaged, Adam, and I've never been happier! I was wondering, seeing how David is your best friend, he wants you to be a part of the wedding and be his best man. It is understandable of course if you can't bear it and see me with him when we said as you left "see you in white!". I know this may seem harsh but I'm way too good for you. You need some-one a little bit more in your league. David is out of my league but he still loves me. Anyway, I'm babbling, but we'll meet you at the airport when you come home! I'll look forward to showing you the wedding plans and the ring David bought me (sorry, it's the one you were going to buy me, but couldn't afford it)!
Hope this hasn't ruined your day!

All my love, forever, Christine xxxxxxxxxxx



    Dear Amber,

I want you to know that you mean the world to me. I will always treasure the moments we spent together, and I know we will have many more of those moments in the future, considering that I'm marrying your sister Emily in two weeks! Yeah, isn't it crazy! We had wanted you to come to the wedding, but we decided we couldn't wait that long. We're getting married on May 6th in the DC Temple. I know you waited for me on my mission and I promised to wait for you, but I know God had something better in mind for both of us. But we're thinking that we might name our first daughter after you. That would be nice, wouldn't it? I hope we can still be really good friends, otherwise Emily would feel bad. Anyways, have a great day!

~Mike

I voted

So I guess I can say today I voted.  Yeah jump for joy.  Nope not me! First off I went into the polls knowing nothing about anyone except the presidential candidates. Second, where was the info on the propositions that were being passed.  I do have to admit that California has it together when it comes to making sure the voter is informed!!  I guess I am also not happy about voting because honestly I THINK OUR VOTES DO NOT COUNT!!! yup, I said it.  Voting is just something to make the people think they are calling the shots, making the decisions about who is going to run our country.  Me, I don't think that.  Voting is something that is givin to us people to make us think that this is our government.  If that be the case that our vote counts then why the heck back in 19-- oh i forgot the year.  But back then when Al Gore was running for president, the people of the United States voted Al into office but nooooo we all know what happened.  Baby Bush was placed into the white house, why because the stupid Electoral College.  Yup I called it stupid.  It just proved to me that no matter how much us, the people, want someone in office another yahoo is put there.  And boy did this country pay for that decision.  10+ years of war, an economy that today is still not back on track, even food and stuff we buy are expensive while our paychecks remain small.  I think I need to save some money and buy me a nice island somewhere in the pacific and live there on my own, no government, no laws except my own, no one around me. wow now I am starting to sound like my dad.
       So forgive me when I am not happy when I say I voted.  I'm not being antiamerican or even just plain rude.  But I have my reasons as to why I am not happy this year on voting.
