ahem. i wonder if any of you remember me. i'm hoping that a few of you do. i just wanted to stop in for a second and let those few who know me know what's up.

first of all, i am currently serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a two year endeavor. i am three months into it and have been in Tonga for one of those. during that time i have been working and teaching the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to the people on the main island of Tongatapu. this next week though, i will be transferred out to a remote island without any internet and so it may be a long time before i can get back to a computer and let people know how things are going.

i am doing very well. i am pretty well adjusted to the new culture, new food, and new language. i am thoroughly enjoying myself and the opportunity that i have to spend all my time and energy on bringing people to Jesus Christ. it is a truly amazing experience, one unlike any other.

i'm sorry for the lack of detail of this post, but if any of you would like to write me, and i promise i'll write back, you can send it to this address:

i'm happy to see that the academy is still up and running and that those i spent my time with are starting to fill up the ranks. take care guys and enjoy this wonderful place.

'Ofa atu,

Wow, it must take a tremendous amount of faith for what you believe to go on a trip such as Faded has done. I've never met the guy, but am awed by this story.

I hope everything goes well for you, Faded. Best of luck :)

Man right when i saw this I thought he was back. But alas, we continue to wait. Last I heard from him he was doing well. He stopped into some internet cafe and posted on my prof saying all was well. I've missed him this long, haha, whats a couple more months.....

COME HOME SOON MR. SLADE

I remember checking out beastly sexy maps with this guy on /devmap. Best comment ever from this guy was something along the lines of: "This map is sooooo cool, I want to have this guy's man-babies."

Anywho, if you calculate it out from this post, he may be back in just 5 months! :cool:

I was actually wondering how he was doing the other day on a whim. Thought it odd, but if he was three months into this in November of two years ago that means he'll be done in a couple of months?

I was that guy's Padawan back in the JK2 days! :D

Damn I miss the old days in this place. Colin was ace, if a bit strange. But aren't we all? :P

I just know everything's going well for him and hopefully we'll hear from him soon! :)

I wonder how life is doing for you Faded, when i sit alone or have a few minutes at work and my mind wonders it sometimes wonders how you are doing and how its all going , we wasnt really friends and we didnt really like eachother much i dont think.. Either way im a more mature guy in social conversation and the mere fact i thought about how u was doing says maybe i did think u was a cool guy but was stubborn who knows. Anyway the chance of you reading this is kinda slim but i thought the bump might let the new people know about the things some of our members do actually go on to do and that internet games isnt the all in life ...

im sure one day we'll speak again until then we await your return

Nicely done Faded. Keep up the good work. Remember to change your panties and always remember we'll still be here. Years and years from now we'll be here. Some of us might hide under rocks others in the broom closet but sure enough if you open the doors and turn the rocks over you'll find us all.

Great to hear from you man; sorry I can't write to you I forgot how to put stamps on emails but man I'll tell you what those bill collectors never forget. How do they do that?

oooh yes, I remember you ...

Man, I wish I had the courage to do what you are doing right now. I admire you for it

I remember you doing those final training sessions right before you left, I also remember the news post about you.
Come to think about it, I didn't even meet you, but I wish I had :(

I hope you're doing fine over there in Tonga, and I hope you'll come back to us safe and shined ...

Anyway, I hope you're doing great over there man, and I hope you'll come back to us as soon as you can!
