It isn't true there are no advantages

In their eyes though, missionaries are training 7 days a week on a mandatory

BYU's penalties suggest that greater maturity and self-control are hypothetical

I immediately thought the 2 corners--& then quickly realized half the D

Wonder where they get the 10 out of 11 number? I can't think of any combination

NewMexiCoug

9/19/14 5:42am

Not to mention that RM's are always assumed to be significantly older

Mantis Mutu
