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:

Elder Colin Slade
Tonga Nuku'alofa Mission
PO Box 58
Nuku'alofa, Tonga

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,

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Now this, I did NOT expect! :D

It's great to hear from you Colin, and if you get a chance to read this before you go off to the Island, I just want you to know that we're all super-de-duper proud of you! You're doing an awesome thing, and it's great that you're having a fantastic time. I'll be sure to send you used condoms or something in the mail! :D

Take care, and God bless! :)
