My good friend, Jon, is going on a mission trip! He will be teaching school in the Marshall Islands. The Marshal Islands are located in the south Pacific. They are extremely poor an
d over crowded. The Island Jon will be teaching and living on is called Ebeye. Ebeye is known as the slum of the Pacific. After WWII the US Government did A LOT of nuclear weapons testing in the Marshal Islands. The government not wanting to nuke the natives moved entire islands to Ebeye causing to be one the most densely populated places in the world. To this day many of the inhabitant of the Islands are suffering from radiation poisoning. (Don't get nervous, i am not asking for never had never will!) I want everyone to know where Jon is going and what he is getting into for the service of Jesus.

Well Jon needs a lap top, in the islands. He told me he would trade me his car for a lap top. Just to keep the record straight, His car is NOT all that! It is a 1994 Astro van. Not what i had in mind at the start of this project. To be honest i did not even want to consider this trade(sorry Jon just kee
ping it real). But God really showed me that Jon's need I could supply with the Paper Clip Project. And in the process of me Helping take care of Jon's need, mine would be supplied. You that have been reading my blog know that i have mention Jon a couple of times. he drove me to trade the silly string for the knife then the knife for the camera. Then he took the picture of the camera for the swords trade. Jon is a great friend, and i will miss him in the Islands. I am willing changing the premise of the Paper Clip Project to help Jon. Hey Jon i got much luv for ya broski! I have a pair of Japanese style swords, looking to trade for a lap top, or something that will help me get a lap top. Anyone want to trade?

Just because you trade for the Astro Van, doesn't mean you have to stop there!
ReplyDeleteDid you know you have trade # 3 twice? Wouldn't that make the last trade, trade # 5?
