It's been a nice week.  I didn't complain of boredom except when I was in school where everybody goes so that they don't have to be bored at home.  Heh.  I have plenty of things/chores to do still!  shucks.

Anyways, I read a book about Adoniram Judson, a missionary to Burma (Myanmar).  Now the first thing you're gonna think is, "...why so 'Christian-y'?"  Well, don't judge just by the word 'missionary'..like they say don't judge a book by its cover.  Sometimes, I think all missionary stories are the same..they get sick and God makes them better buuuuttt...you know just that is a BIG miracle I should never take for granted.  Anyways, this man's life is amazing.  The book wasn't written all that well..the style and writing wasn't that nice to read but even then...the part that touched me most was that death faced him at every turn but he still kept at it.  He lost all his closest friends.  He lost two wives.  He lost around 7 children..he had like 12 children.  He lost his missionary partners.  He lost his whole family..his parents, brothers, and sisters.  Not to mention that before some of them died, they often were on the brink of death.  Wow, if I had been him, after losing two people, I would just have given up and gone straight back to US where living conditions would have at least kept my family safe.  And I complain just when I'm separated from my friends...he had to see them die and also often be separated from them for years.  Imagine being separated from your wife and kids for years.

Sooooo...I have to wish somebody a Beary Happy Birthday!  Katie! =)  This is the friend for hyper, random, happy, weird, crazy, awesome talk.  Really!  Smilez!
