Austin's Awesome Blog

Lots of things have happened in the past couple of weeks. We have been so busy that every time I try to blog, it is bedtime, or we have to get into the van again. So please don't stop checking the blog. You may find a new post about once a month. With internet many times being scarce, it is also hard to blog. Now my mom blogs a lot. Her bedtime is whenever she wants!! Mine is 8 p.m. My birthday was about 10 days ago, and I said, "Can I stay up till 9 now, like Brendin?!" And they said, "He's 13!!" Mom has a good point, though: "When was the last time you went to bed at 8??" Every time we get home from somewhere, it is about 10:00 at night. And when we wake up, it is time to get back into the van.

On June 10, we traveled to Spring City, Pennsylvania, where my parents dropped us off at some friends house, while they traveled on to Jacksonville, Florida, for missionary training school. Somehow, my dad managed to miss my birthday , but not Father's Day. But we did celebrate my birthday before we left. The Shaws had a pool party for their son Caleb, and they included me in on it too, since my birthday was a couple of days before. That was really nice of them!! We went to their church (Valley Forge Baptist Temple) on Sunday, and the jr. church kids sang Happy Birthday to me. And I made a friend, Scott. When my parents got back, they decided to stay for a couple of days and fellowship with the Shaws. For Father's Day at VFBT, they had an old-fashion-car show. So you could look at the cars, and then the owners would give rides to people. It all happened so fast! Soon, it was time to go home to Canada for a few days. Then we will make another trip to Sault St. Marie. From there we will make our way towards the West Coast for a couple of months. That's the behind the scenes for a missionary's busy life. I have to go now. It appears that I NEED a shower. If I do say so myself, I smell pretty good!! Well, goodbye for this month:)
