Of all the places in the world, and you end up in Texas. Got to be a disappointed. Can you appeal the decision? Why should I be disappointed? I'm not going there for the tourism or to go to any place fun. The point is to find people, not places, to speak with and introduce the gospel to. I'm not there for a vacation. But surely you want to learn new things. Experience another culture to compare with where you are from. Personally, i would be disappointed if i were to be sent somewhere in the same country, if i were in your position.

To be fair there are plenty of different cultures to see in just one country, America especially... not sure how different it will be down in Texas, but I'm sure there will be differences from where he is now, ha. I do think it would've been nice to get somewhere pretty different just for the experience, but that doesn't really fit his job description, so meh. =p

You must remember that my purpose isn't to go on vacation or anything. I am there to teach. So afterward when I'm done sure family can drive me around the states leading to home but in general though I am pleased and know it's where I need to be.

An openly spiritual/religious person... You don't see those very often on places such as these. Robert, I am excited for you. I didn't get this opportunity when I wanted it so I'm glad you do. I was supposed to go to Texas as well, but for other reasons, I was not able to. Good luck on your mission. I'm sure you'll have some excited stories to tell when it's all over.

So afterward when I'm done sure family can drive me around the states leading to home but in general though I am pleased and know it's where I need to be. I'm not thinking anything like a vacation. I never said i was. I'm not saying go and party... get drunk... etc I'm thinking more an educational experience. Experience another culture which you haven't had any exposure too. To open your mind. I would have imagined that this was about new experiences for you, to find more out about yourself. I know you can get different traditions etc in the same country. Scotland, London, Cornwall, Yorkshire etc has a different culture to Suffolk but they are still at the same time very similar in a way which say England and Bolivia, for example aren't. Like i said. If it were me in your position, i would personally be disappointed. I'm not saying you should be. If you are happy then that's fine too.

I think that being in the states for now is best for my parents sake, but just in our country alone there's enough variety of culture since we are usually where most people go for a new life and experience.

And Robert also, don't get caught up in the scandal about the chainsaw massacre.

Wherever it is, don't knock on my door
Oh Texas?
Yeah careful with that lot, save Austin they're Evangelical (Not the type of Christian that takes kindly the to Mormon religion) and have guns, the worst combination.

I've also heard rumors that the real Loch Ness monster is in Texas, and that the other one is just a fake. The Loch Ness monster in Texas also has guns.
