Randomness from the Mission..

OK... this is a whole lot of randomness... more for me than anyone else! I just went through my planners from my mission (http://asdupuisfamily.blogspot.com/2011/01/memories.html) .... I flipped through a few pages in each planner and wanted to share some of the random awesomeness from them! These are all from the "Notes" section of the page.. that sweet little box on the right side! ... some of the things I want to remember FOREVER!!
