Hello world! It is I, Colin, once again to post, but this for the last time in two years! Because as of tomorrow 1:15, I will report to the MTC in Provo Utah! Yeehaw!
So for my last post I want to say a little farewell. A farewell to the wounded, in fact. To all those who will miss my ever beaming laugh, or to those who will no longer get to poke my nose. For my witty remarks, and sarcastic humor that many people seem not to understand, myself included sometimes. Tomorrow, I make a new path in my life. I step off the old familiar trail and journey into a new, less familiar trail, one surrounded by leaping and wailing, scruples and rubles. Actually, I am not sure what the Ukrainian currency is, but when I find out I will let you all know! Now you have something to look forward to! Or you and I could just google it, which would be easy, fast, and reliable, but due to lack of buildup and excitement, I think you should wait until you get a letter or email from me.
Again, I speak to you, wounded. You have been with me to the end. You have stuck your fist in the ground, and pulled up ripe apple seeds! I am not sure what that means, but it must mean something important. And you have all cared so much for me, of this I say thank you! You have all been such a good support to me! And when I say "you all" I mean the like four of you who read this. But thank you to you all!
And now, for my closing remarks. Life, as we all know it, is a circle, a circle of life. There is no beginning, save birth, and there is no end, save death. And even then, death is more worked up than it ought to be. Its really just a passage way to more life, so really life is like a line. It starts, with birth, but continues on forever! Past planes, plains, and Prussia.
Now for my real closing remarks because my last ones were just silly. Thank you everyone for supporting me. Thanks for being my friend. Thanks for being my sister (Laina- I think you get more shout outs than anyone!). Thank you for all the help you have given me throughout the years, and I look forward to serving my mission! I know that what I am doing is the most important thing I could do in my life. I want you all to know that my mission has been a life time goal, and that there is nothing I would rather be doing. This is the most important thing in my life right now, and I hope that I can become the missionary God knows I can be.
Goodbye for now, until we meet again!
Colin
