Changes ladies and gentlemen...

Man alive, ladies and gentlemen, life has moved in incredible directions. I find myself currently an uncle again with a new nephew, a basketball coach, as well as part of a spearhead movement to improve the water quality of the village out here. I got to see my family, have my water system completely installed and I am able to filter the water at an incredible rate cleaning it of microbes to a log12 factor. My mondays and wednesdays have turned into 13 hour days with only a lunch break with coaching and tutoring, and i am oddly surprised I would have expected me to be exhausted, but i am finding myself with time on my hands to write and update my blog. I dont know where this time came from, but i am reasonably planned up for the end of the year until break and I just have to get over my wednesday hump before i feel the week is over. I am looking forward to break with reckless abandon, I cant hardly wait, after getting a taste of my dad and sister it reminded me of what i am missing back home. Not to mention it was cool to meet Bob, the CEO of fourth largest communications company in the world! He was the most eccentric man I have ever met. Immensly interested in everything, honeybuckets, steaming, and chipping ice, I have never met a more humble man who was so giving. My little sister described it the best although the man isimmensley weathly he isnt really concerned with acquiring more of it, he is more focused on what good he can do with it. He has provided financial support to what he terms "world changing ideas" and tries to bring great minds together. I was blown away by the man and am incredibly grateful that he decided to take an interest in my little village out here. Guys the course of events that led up to this was incredible, seredipitious is only the beginning, and slowly I find myself becomin more religious. The chances of everything arejust too outrageous, I feel I have found reaffirmation that I should be out here, and I didnt even know I was looking for it. In retrospect this whole scheme came to be because I had no idea that AK stood for alaska. It is ridiculous guys I have no other explanation for it. As this project unfolds I think I am going to begin compiling my blogging and journaling and start laying this out in a book. I always wanted to be an author, I thought by choosing teaching I was giving up o nthat path, but it looks like there may stil be an avenue open. I don't know folks, i just dont know, I am simply amazed by what has occurred...til next time
