"It's a thing I've noticed," the big
man said with laughing scorn, "that
the greater a man's -or boys- ignorance
of the world, the more certain he is that
he sits in the center of that world."

( 'elder'todd purcell)I Love this boy!!
I've loved him for years. Ever since he began coming to the house to hang with Joe, and flirt with Anna a bit. Ever since those high school years, when teenagers are brain dead, and clueless.

(I guess its safe to say that he's no longer a boy)
This young man is so personable.
So talented.
And is one of those rare kids who looked you in the eye when talking to you!!
He has sowed some wild oats.
He caused a few pillowcases of his parents to dampen with tears. (few teenagers haven't have they?)
He turns 24 this week!! (Happy Birthday TOdd!!!)
And the very next week will find him in the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah. He's been called to serve in Tokyo, Japan!! Which happens to also be his place of birth. He spent a great deal of time in Japan as he grew- so he's already fluent in Japanese!! He'll hit the ground running, and will be a marvelous missionary to be sure!!! His 'life' experiences will have taught him well as he approaches the people of Japan about the Savior of the world.
Todd is a much beloved friend, son, brother and community member. We look forward to hearing all about his adventures!!
Go in joy and peace Todd!!!
