Saturday was Palmview‘s Field Day. I participated, as did many other non-Palmview people, but unlike many others I did terrible I am definately not at my physical peak anymore… if I ever was. My best events, throwing and jumping, were total flops for me as I threw all objects at a 45° angle off of the legal area and ran right through the bar for high jump. My athletic abilities aside, I mostly had fun. We had a farewell potluck for a missionary that’s leaving the field (probably permanently), and she’s going to take a letter and the pendant I bought for Chels to France for me to mail them to her. She asked my parents if the’d censored it and Mom was just like ‘we trust our son’, hehe

Week 3 – Day 1 without Chels… and counting. She may not be back until that count reaches week 6… or even 8… I don’t want to think about it. No chat, no email, she can’t even read what I send her… but I don’t send her anything just to keep the temptation away. I think I’m going to start writing and email to her that I don’t send, and I’ll just keep adding to it. Then when she’s ungrounded I’ll send the whole thing. I’d really like to ask for prayer, for both myself and Chels. I miss her a lot, and she must be missing everyone. I’d also like to ask that everyone pray we’ll both be able to concentrate on our schoolwork. I’d really appreciate it
