I'll be leaving soon...

As some of you know, I'm LDS and have been planning on serving a 2 year mission for my church.

I was expecting a little more time before I left, but when I received my letter today I got quite a shock. I am to report in on August 5th. I will be leaving for Pocatello Idaho. :D

I won't be doing any posting or PMs at this time. I will try to get my parents to create an account and post updates of what I'm up to if anyone is interested.

I will be able to do email once a week. Those who want to stay in contact with me can send me a PM and I'll get you my contact information.

I look forward to Botcon 2012 and seeing some familiar faces. For now, I've still got a couple weeks so lets enjoy the time I have left.

It means Latter Day Saint.

We're also called Mormons.

Nope. I won't be doing any internet stuff during the 2 years I'll be gone. I'll come back though. I won't leave you guys hangin.

The only internet stuff I'm allowed to do is email once a week to family and friends along with a blog I believe. I'll get back to you guys on that.

Holy Crap!

Best of luck man. Hopefully it's a positive growth experience.

Send me your email address and I'll do my best to keep you up to date on the good TF news.

We'll look forward to your return. :)

All the best!

Thanks CP! Yeah, I'm hoping and praying that everything will be for the best. I'll be putting all my hobbies and stuff aside for 2 years while I serve the Lord.

Don't worry, you'll get my new email. I'll be using a special new email during the 2 years I'll be gone. I look forward to seeing updates on all the TF goodiness. =P~ I can look, but can't touch. (for a while anyway) I'll stay in touch man.

Since I'll be gone, I'm giving my brother my phone, PSP, and whatever other techy goodies that I can't take since they'll be obsolete when I get back. Guess what I get in return? He'll be adding to the collection while I'm gone. Mostly the new Universe stuff, But I must have that movie Bludgeon! I've been dreaming of that figure since I left Botcon.

Kinda funny that my collection will grow even when I'm gone.

Like I said earlier, I'll be at Botcon 2012 for sure. We'll have to do lunch or something.

I also found out that I'm allowed to have a blog that can be updated once a week along with email once a week. I'll post pics and show everyone what I'll be up to. This is so exciting!

The next two years may be the roughest and best time of your life man. I don't think there's anything more satisfying, spiritually and mentally, than doing things for your faith.

If you're interested, I can give you mini updates to your new email with quick blurbs on all the happenings in the TF world. I know you have your limits but I believe that God won't mind. :wink:

My email is no secret: first_gen@seibertron.com.

Take care brother.

Yes, PM me your email and you'll be added to the list. We'll be sending emails to everyone to give them my contact info and how to send stuff.

Sure, updates will be awesome! With you and CP keeping me up to date, I'll come back without missing a beat apart from a couple missing Botcon sets.

The only thing I ask is that you don't send me links to sites. I won't be allowed to open them. If you want to show me pics of new figures and whatnot, you'll have to attach them to the email.

I'm in the middle of taking pics to do a final collection thread update so everyone will see the rest of my goodies soon.

You're right. I'll be back in August of 2011, but I'll miss the 2011 Botcon. That's why I said I'll see you all at Botcon 2012.

Botcon's time of year is all over the map, chances are you will miss 2011's but never say never.

It was good seeing you at this year's Botcon, though. You made a great "line buddy." Your dad was cool, too.

Good luck, my friend!

If I can make it back in time for Botcon 2011, you can bet I'll go.

Delicon, PM me your email so I can add you to the list.

Also, I understood the whole doomsday thing. Problem was that's December 21st supposedly. FP would never in their right minds do Botcon during Christmas.
