So I am now realizing that my time overseas may have impaired my vocabulary a bit...because in the last post I of course meant PRE-Event instead of POST event. My bad. The real POST event analysis is this. It was awesome. We had a lot of great discussions with about 60 people in attendance with over 9 churches of christs from around New Zealand involved. We talked about the future of the church in New Zealand, how best to maintain unity, and what kind of journey we as men are on together. I was able to meet with people from the Bible College in Tauranga as well as their professors which was really cool because it meant that there were people my age there. I played my first real game of rugby in which i scored a tri (essentially a touchdown) though it took me a while to remember that when someone has the ball its better to run behind them than to run in front of them like in football. I also got to go on a memorable hike in the foothills of Mt. Ruapeho (the mountain they used for Mt. Doom in the Lord of the Rings movies. It was long, cold, and muddy but it was also a lot of fun and a bonding experience for the 6 of us guys who went. I am packing up right now because I am about to take a trip down to the south island to see what it has to offer. I fly down tommorow and I will proceed to bus my way back up to Auckland stopping at a few of the major cities to spend the day. I ask for your prayers for my safety as I will be traveling alone and I also apologise because I doubt I will be able to update until this next Monday or Tuesday (your Sunday or Monday). Then I will be flying back to the good ole U.S.A.
I must insist that there not be a parade, I know that you guys were thinking about it but I really have to put my foot down. No parade (I will however except various gifts IF you feel so inclined to give). Love you guys and thanks again for your prayers and your thoughts!

Hey Bud,
Robert here.
Ok, I never have doubted you, and I never will.
You were right.
You were right.
You were right.
I Took the 3 M's to see Transformers last night, and we all loved it.
We will be thinking & praying for you in the next few days in your travels. It's really great to hear all your doing, & seeing, these are the times you'll keep with you the rest of your life.
That being said I'm really looking forward to seeing you when you get back, and hearing about everything.
Tell them the truth Ryan Jones!!! That you used me for a month, while I paid for everything; meals and trips. That I took you on a camping trip, on Valentine's Day, I paid for to help you cope with your brother's death. That on your brother's birthday, you got blackout drunk and I took care of you while you verbally abused me. That I saved your life because you were alcohol poisoned and were chocking on your own vomit. That after you committed yourself to me and told me to hang on while you sort all this out, you then disposed of me like yesterday's garbage. Tell them the truth!!! I am honorable and will defend this any day and anytime!!!! Why don't you tell them what an abusive alcoholic you are and how you can't it get up normally because you sit at home, jerking off to FART PORN (not a joke people SERIOUSLY-he jerked off to fart porn while I watched-HIS request). Don't you fucking dare lie about me when I treated you like gold and cherished you!!!
