Hey all!
We had a great trip as a group last Tuesday to Washington D.C. Our assignment for the day was to interact with internationals in DC. We were to observe them whenever we had a chance, we were to assist them if they needed any help, we were to eat at an ethnic establishment, we were to identify 5 smells not common to our home, and most importantly we were to lead an international person one step closer to Jesus Christ.
My group included my roommate and my friend Debbie, who is going with me to Japan. We had a good day. We were able to speak with a lady from Burma at a Burmese restaurant and also to a young Japanese man at the train station near the end of the day. It wasn't a sightseeing trip so to speak and so we didn't see a lot of the sights, but I did get to go by the White House and the Washington Monument for a few minutes. One of the missionaries going to the Pacific Rim region wasn't able to go with the whole group on Tuesday so she is going to DC this Saturday. I am going to go back to DC with her for the day, and we are going to meet up with one of her friends from seminary while there.
I plan on taking some more pictures on Saturday and so when I sort through some I'll post the better ones on this blog.
Finally, I learned to play this card game called Rook here at FPO. Debbie is my Rook partner and I just want to give her credit before all 4 of you who read my blog here, for she is the best Rook partner ever. Debbie and I dominated everyone else early on here at FPO, but then we went through a period when we couldn't win a game. Then all of a sudden last night we couldn't lose again. For 5 hours we destroyed all challengers who dared to play us. The reason we were losing for a while in the middle there was all because of me though. However, despite how bad I was playing Debbie stuck with me as a partner and just kept on encouraging and supporting me. It would have been easy for her to trade me in for a better partner, but she didn't. And because she didn't we are back on top of the Rook world! Here's to you DD!
God Bless you all!

Hmmm....this Debbie girl sounds like a real gem! I mean wow she kept you around even during such an upset. She must have realized that you were a diamond in the rough and that you just needed a little more time to perfect your skills. I betcha she's glad that you stuck around....I mean 5 hours of dominating in Rook! You know, I have always been told that it takes two to tango, well, it takes two to play Rook also. So, here's to you Jarod on your mad Rook skills!
Keira,
Debbie is a real gem! In fact she's the only person I've met who I like more than you. With that said though, I'm your biggest fan. I L-O-V-E-D you in Pride & Prejudice. You will always have a special place in my heart. Feel free to post on my blog any time. Later Keira!
