Elder Todd Glad Doing Great

Dear Family,

Between all of you I think i've talked a lot about how I'm doing and stuff like that.  Some experiences that I've been having, well this week we helped this guy take down a fence in his yard.  We also taught a lesson with him, one of the most powerful lessons that I've taught yet.  Another day we went out to Prague and helped the people get a horse corrall and I tried to ride a mule bare back but it didn't really work very much.  Then we helped them put it up back here in Shawnee.  Also there was this one family that called the church when we were there and we went out and taught them, oh my gosh I really shouldn't talk bad about people but, she said that when her daughter was 13 she was raped by her cousin.  She was pregnant but she lost the baby, and now she's 15 and pregnant again with her 21 or 22 year old boyfriends baby.  I was just blown away by that, I thought that was just a my about people out here inbreeding and stuff but there you go.  And apparently the legal age for that kind of stuff out here is 14, really stupid but anyways.  The other night we went to this one family's house that is going through the temple like this week, they showed us there pet ducks and I got a picture of one of there chickens on my shoulder but yeah its just been a crazy week with all that stuff and the earthquakes and everything just keeping us busy.  Well I'd better go but I love you all and I'll be writing with more detail this week in a letter.  But you guys should write me as well that would be cool.  I haven't gotten anything since I've been in Oklahoma so you guys are slacking.  Just kidding.  Love you all

Sincerely,

Elder Glad the second
