Auserwahlt zu Dienen! (Mit ein Umlaut auf die zweite "A")
Those who know me know that I'm fairly religious. In fact, I think I'd go so far as to say that I'm devoutly religious. If any of my readers lose respect for me because of this, know that I wouldn't trade my beliefs and knowledge for anything in the world. And now that I'm coming to the ripe old age of 19, I am able to share beliefs in another land and another tongue.
That other land, ladies and gentleman, is Germany.
That's right, I have been called on an LDS mission to the Germany Munich/Austria mission.
I must tell you now that I am near overly excited for this. Not only am I stoked to learn the language (I took three years of German, but the third year was quite useless, taught by a gentleman who rambled about sports and subways every day for an hour and a half), but I am also excited to share my beliefs with the people of Germany.
So now that I know exactly when and where I'll be going (June 6 of this year), I am making sort of an official statement to the world of Blogland. To the few who read my musings, I will disappear from the online world on or around June 6.
I appreciate every and all persons who have read, commented, or even glanced at this blog ever since its creation a year and a half ago. Unlike the brilliant Tolkien Boy, I do not have the poetic genius nor the number of commentors necessary to write an interesting limerick about them all. But I do thank you for all your support and for all your words, be they encouraging or demeaning. They have given shape and interest to this small corner of the Internet.
Thanks to all, and God be with you 'till I post again!

You shouldn't praise me so much. It makes me blush.
I'm happy for you, but sorry to lose such a great blogging friend. "Blogdom will be the lesser for your leaving--and sadly lacking in scandal!" Except, of course, for the scandal bit.
"Oh, but my dear Tolkien Boy, my personal favorite is shortly to unfold. Consider it a parting gift."
Germany should be quite the experience. I can't wait until my call. Oddly enough, I've got to lose weight before I can turn in my papers (darn rules), but it's not a ton, and I can't turn them in until July 1st anyway. Best of luck to you my friend!
