Presenting the one...the only...head skate guard at Roll on America!!!

...Makin' a huge honkin' snowball out of this blog....

It's Ian!!!!

Yes, I vow to keep this blog going in snowball format. I'm here in prison, as you can see the dreary surrounding from which I type. I spend most of my moments here gazing straight into a lightbox that is designed to slowly and deliberately fray all of my neurons until the synapses can longer fire, and then my head will blow off. But, despite all this, we, as humans, gravitate toward the lightbox because it is the only source of light nearby. Natural light is a privilege for those with large belts and refillable coffee mugs/jugs glued to their right palm. They have grown to love the lightbox.

Enough craziness.

I'm glad that everybody has gotten back on the blog.

Evan & Sabine: I'm glad you guys are just starting to get back into your routine and I'm very happy that Sabine's pioneering is working out well. It stinks we couldn't see your talk, but I have every confidence that you did an excellent job and that it was very encouraging for the friends. We will keep in touch as much as possible. We miss you guys too. We have a great time during your visit.

Ma: It's nice to hear from you too. I miss you. I'm happy to hear that you were able to do some service by writing letters. I wrote a letter too on Saturday morning to start my time. Definitely keep it up! Jehovah will bless your efforts!!! We should set a date to have you guys over for dinner. I LOVE TO COOK!!!

Pa: You're the only one left not back on the blog! "Yoo khan dooh eet!" Come on! Join in the fun! Oh and you need to call me when you close the pool!!! That filter is heavy!!! You stink cuz you got to go the last YANKEES GAME OF THE SEASON!!! IT must have rocked cuz they won! Sheri and I have yet to see a Red Sox game together where they win. Tell us all about it!!

Gina: It was nice to talk to you yesterday and catch up a little. We miss you and Sam too. We'd love to see more pictures. She was talking so much yesterday. Does she walk yet? I'm glad to hear that you are so excited about putting Jehovah first. It's such a great feeling to know that you're making Jehovah happy, isn't it? Keep that feeling.

Sheri: I'll see you when I get home. Oh, and I'm pregnant.

Ian: Remember to do your daily Bible reading in a British accent because American accents suck. Oh, oops...I should have just kept that to myself.

So what's new with me? Sheri hit on some good points about Portuguese. We had a great talk by a brother from NJ only in Portuguese for 2 years but excellent at the language. He was about my age, I think. He gave an excellent talk in English, as well, that Sheri mentioned about our spiritual height.

I got a new study. He's coming into the truth on his own. He already studied the Require brochure in Brazil but he insists on going through it again and then to another book. He's got scriptures memorized and he really has an appreciation for spiritual things. I wouldn't be surprise if he got baptized within a year.

Well, I've posted quite a bit, although I could keep going. But I'll leave it at this and practice some self-control.

I love you all Ma, Pa, Gina, Evan, Sabine and Sheri...With a special love.
