I have come to the conclusion that I am terrible at this.
The blogging thing I mean.
As it turns out, although I love my mac, and am on it everyday, and I love the idea of sharing my experiences, I very seldomly find myself wanting to post a new blog.
Which is unfortunate.
It's not as though I don't enjoy talking, anyone who knows me will know that that is a lie. It's just that I find articulating my thoughts, ideas, and memories a daunting task. In a face to face conversation, I am able to guage the other persons interest in what I am saying, and also allow them to steer the conversation. But when it comes to blogging, it is up to me to not only deliver my entire side of the conversation, all at once, with no breaks, but also to keep you (the reader) interested enough to read to the end of my blog.
Daunting indeed.
I guess this is where most people enjoy the idea of blogging. Being able to say what ever you want, how ever you want to, without having to argue, elaborate or explain anything.
I on the other hand, would much rather have a real conversation. Going back and forth and really getting a sense of the people or person that I'm talking to. But traveling this much, and meeting people with whom I may never have the chance to speak with face to face again, sort of puts a kink in my communication wishes.
So here is my promise to you.
I will try one hundred times harder, especially on my travels, to take better verbal notes on my missionary experiences. I promise that not another trip will pass without you feeling as though you were part of everything from the takeoff to the landing. (I will also try not to ONLY post when sitting in an airport... That might get boring.)
I hope that you will enjoy it.
I hope that you will feel as though you really are traveling with me.
I hope you can see the faces that I grow to love, and feel the emotions that our world evokes in me.
And I hope, more then anything else, that you will continue to walk with me.
