might also tell the folks to send out a mouse trap or poison cheese. To add to my sleeping troubles, last night a
mouse started gnawing on something about 10 minutes after I crawled into
bed.... Each time I made some racket he stopped; but I still haven't located
the culprit....
"You
mentioned being surprised when Norma told you about my plans for being a
minister or possibly a missionary. Your
surprise is justified. I've done little so far to indicate that I was headed in
that direction. But recently a big
change has come over me. I would like to
do some good while on this earth; and feel that I might be able to in that
field.
"As
a lawyer, I'd probably be a failure - for a reason Norma mentioned. I'm too honest."
