Oh, I'm glad Dad got such a kick out of my suffering. I really appreciate it. It's insane. It's not bugging me as bad, I've REALLY FORCED myself to deal with it. But it's seriously painful. I know Dad still doesn't understand it... then again he doesn't understand much, so I don't really blame him. Did you take a picture of Pikachu for me? a couple nice one's to remember him by? I'm so glad he's doing good. Hopefully I can get in a few letters today. I don't know how much I can squeeze in, I'm behind on my journal haven't been working on my abs + alot more. It's hard to keep on track, the schedule's just difficult. I can do better though. My biggest concern is getting in my personal study time. I hope you and dad are doing well, and it's actually fun to hear the random nonsensical things your doing. Like a little story. Closest thing to a good book I get around here. We did get to watch Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration last night. I love that movie. Joseph Smith was a true prophet. Did you ever get a chance to talk to Rena and Al? I think they'd be very interested in hearing you talk about it. Well last thing I wanted to mention. I love you both very much, and I really need your support, Dad told me about your jaw. Has he given you an blessing with oil yet? I think you should get one from Him and maybe Alan Fox, or bishon Clanton, something along those lines. I believe in priesthood blessings, and The Priesthood. Anyway I hope you get better and I pray that the Lord will take away your pain and heal your jaw. Anyway, until you get my (hopefully) letter! With Love and Sincerity,Jake Taylor, Elder!
