Elder FaDed, we wish you luck... -doobie - May 21 06:03am |

FaDed, our esteemed colleague and friend, has just informed the Council that he has received his Mission call from the presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons, for those of you not in the know), and will be leaving us shortly. Here's what he has to say: "my dear friends, the time is come that i must bid you all farewell. as many of you know, i have been planning on going on a mission and today i recieved my mission call from the presidency of my church. here is a portion of what they wrote to me: Dear Elder Slade: You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to laber in the Tonga Nuku'alofa Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months. You should report to the Missionary Training Center at Provo, Utah on Wednesday, 28 July 2004. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Tongan language. it goes on to talk about what will be expected of me as a missionary. so yeah.. i'm going to be in Tonga for the next 2 years. knowing this, it is time for me hand in my tag and position. i came to the academy in february 2003. over the past year and half i have learned many things about myself. i have met many people and 2 of them in real life. a few of them i anticipate being friends for life. i have served amongst the JAK+ and taught many to play. i have seen and been a part of many changes that have taken place here. in short, the academy has been a huge part of my life since i joined. now, i move on to bigger and better things. this is not a sad, but happy occasion. i am excited to have the chance to serve my Lord and my God, Jesus Christ. do not fear for me for i know that he will watch over and protect me as i do his will. i will miss this place and its people dearly. May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. FaDed" FaDed, we wish you the best of luck in the upcoming years of your life. Hopefully we'll still be around when you return, but even if we're not, your friends and I will be looking forward to hearing from you from the mission field. Oh, and since I'm Mormon too, I consider it my duty to inform those of you who don't really know about the Missionary program in our church. Click here if you're interested in hearing what our goal is and how we attempt to achieve it. *gospel-sharing mode off* Sared: Faded also took some time out of his evening to give me an interview about his time here. You can find it here. |

Couldn't sleep, decided to make a quick stroll, sure enough, here we are. I wish you the best of luck Faded, I know you will spread the word well and honor all those as being a missionary. I wanted to thank you for accepting me as a Padawan a long time ago, and for teaching all that you have. Although our contact isn't as much as it once was, you were a true friend and brother. *hands Faded one of the beer steins* This is to take down there, and remember. Fill it with memories, drink, or other momentos the academy gives you before parting. Don't worry, it grows to the size it needs to be, and shrinks when it needs to sneak through the airport. Oh, and it wouldn't be a goodbye without a *snog* no? /me snogs Faded  Take care my friend! _______________ Be honorable, be friendly, be trustworthy. Show respect to all whom you meet. Don't forget you learn when you win AND when you lose. Be the first to admit mistake AND the first to correct it. Be the shoulder for someone to lean on. Always remember those that sacrificed time to help you. Thank you Odan Wei, Vladarion, 3th, Moridin, n00b, Motrec, Faded, Leif, and Tido, you will not be forgotten as the ones to make you remember, it's all about fun... |

I was just ready to hit the hay and figured I'd check the site to see this. Well FaDed, I wish you the best of luck and if you do half the job there that you did here, you will do awesome. Thanx for everything you did for the JA, I'm sure you won't be forgotten. I don't know the availability of internet access in Tonga, but definitely drop us a line and tell us how things are going.
