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.
