Boys to Men

I'm not sure how many of you remember the newsletter that Mrs. Hatch was kind enough to circulate for us when we were mission age. I was going through some old mission letters and I stumbled across them. Unbelievable. These must be the most hilarious things I have ever read. In an effort to revive the blog somewhat and to maybe bring Dave on board I am going to publish Dave's entry into the newsletter for September 2002. This is unedited:

This two-minute drill of September goes out to the month itself. I don't think September gets enough play. The months before, June July, and August, everyone loves because it is summer break. October, November and December everyone remembers for the Holidays. And what happens to September, it gets lost in the middle and no one cares to think about how September must feel. Well, there it is September; I know how you are feelin'.
-First off, BASEBALL
-more than 50% use steroids
-Ted Williams dies 3 days before the baseball all-star game
-They end the all-star game in a tie
-Is this soccer???
-and now they are going to strike on Friday.
-God save baseball and America
-I don't like much church music.
-Maybe because it is the only thing we can listen to on the mission or because every choir grad. from BYU thinks they can make their own church cd!
-marijuana-I smoke it because it's green, if it was white, I'd sniff it.
-band name- 3 more 4 milk
-I have been in 3 wrecks with Frank
-Olive Garden, Church parking lot (cedar), and the railroad tracks
-Has anyone seen my congressional medal of honor?
-Smurf's b-day = July 22
-sorry to my beloved friend on that one
-Jason Lang's parents are moving to Silicon Valley
-We can go there and then go see Benny play
_Ben, don't go pro until after your sophomore year, so I can see you play.
-I am still junior comp.
-18 weeks without a baptism
-I am losing my hair
-and I got piss all over my pants
-transfers are next week and all things could be getting better here soon!
-Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. He is the Son of God,
-He restored the gospel to His prophet Joseph Smith.
-Through him we have the only true church on the face of the earth.
-Stay strong in the service of the Lord.
-this life is a battle until the end and I hope that everyone is geared up!
-much love to all of you. Even the ones who stopped writing.
Eat. Spit. Be happy.

And that is why Dave is one of my favorite people in the world! I hope you all enjoy that as much as I did. Everyone gave a valiant effort to be consistently funny in the newsletter and Dave was by far number one!
