"Signing Off" by Autumn
An adaptation of Bilbo's goodbye from The Fellowship of The Ring:
My dear people, my dear friends and family, acquaintances and long distance correspondants, adopted aunts and uncles and cousins,
I hope that you are all enjoying yourselves as much as I am! I shall not keep you long. I have called you together for a purpose. Indeed, three purposes!
First of all to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that thirty-two posts is too short a time to blog among such excellent and admirable viewers. I know half of you half as much as I would like, and I like half of you half as well as you deserve!
Secondly, to celebrate this blog! When my siblings and I started writing this blog, it was to document some of our memories and thoughts regarding missionary discipleship. It has since become a blessing to be able to share our experiences and viewpoints over the last few years. Thank you all for your support!
Lastly, I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT.
I regret to announce that - though as I said, thirty two posts is too short a time to blog among you - this is the END. I am going. I am leaving now.
Goodbye!
Just kidding. I'm not leaving quite yet. First I am here to inform you that, now that my family is moving into full-time missions, and because of my college work and other obligations, it has come to fruition that I am transitioning out of writing for the blog. But the good news is that my mom will likely be coming into the writing rotation. And I still plan to stay involved with their foreign mission work!
To commemorate this turn of events, the links for all of my previous blogposts are here below in case anyone feels nostalgic:
