smoking = tuxedo

so, i am in fiji now.

today i had a cup of coffee with a guy named cookie. i don't know if that is how you spell his name, but that is how i will spell it because it sounds delicious (sorry this isn't an audio file, for those of you who like my pronunciation of a certain word).

easily the best part of this trip is sitting down and exchanging stories, getting wisdom from and listening to the perspective of somebody you have no business to have ever met. this guy is from fiji, i had a good talk with a guy from india who wants to plant the first church in a city of 100,000, a roommate from korea and there is a girl here from lititz pennsylvania (basically the town next to the one i lived in as a child [yes, i'm a yankee]). it freaks me out a little that i get to do this.

i've been blessed by so many people on this trip. i admire so many people i've met. the scenery is gorgeous, but i'd take the people over it any day. somebeoody send a variation of that to hallmark, maybe with a waterfall or beach or something on the front and 'you' instead of 'people'.

also, it has been nice to not be known as the guy whose grandfather just died. thank you guys for your support by the way. but, last week that is what i was. i've decided not to let anybody here know. i am really at peace with Grandpa's passing.

now, here is an abrupt change of topic.

norwegians,

i must discuss norwegian women. absolutely gorgeous. thank God for them. there was a team in new zealand from norway. i fell in love with each one of them, especially the ones that sneezed. hear me now: there is nothing, nothing more attractive then a sneezing norwegian woman.

also, i watched 7th heaven with them a few times with norwegian subtitles. "smoking" is norwegian for tuxedo. that is all i picked up and i pass it on to you. use it wisely.

thus, i've decided to move to norway. they've got good looking women and the northern lights. what more does a boy need? not much, maybe some mexican food would be good too though, like a chimichaunga every now and again.

Love this article Hey Tim how's it going? Hey Dude just wanting to know how I could access the pi blog again I have been trying and it just keeps on saying cannot find 404. The blog address shows up on the dashboard but everytime I click view it comes up the above scenario, and also doesn't give me an option for templates just posts settings & view blog. Any guidance I would truly be grateful. Tim would you also ask Anna if she is able to email me any photos she has of anything of the members of the team please? Lastly would you let me know if the promo stuff is all good to go, it's just that I have the England folk breathing down my neck... not to worry though. Thanks Bro sorry for the long winded comment. Have Great time Bless you guy's Chris
