month 11 with just over a year left.

those 48hrs were an all time low for me…
-I have lost 18 pounds since being in Tonga.
*Animals
-I got to hold a baby goat.
-I get to cuddle a baby pig all the time because Sami was
given one by her neighbors.
- Faina was left without adult supervision and may be
pregnant. Confirmation has yet to be made.
-A pig bit my nose. I was just trying to kiss it.
-I was eating dinner the other night at Ongo’s house and all
of a sudden the bag at my feet started to move. It was a chicken. Tonga.
-I ate sea turtle at a feast.
*America
-I went to America in June to play with my family. Taco
Bell, Dr. Pepper, and shorts for dayyysssssss! And Netflix :)
-I was asked to be the newest Kallal baby’s Godmother! aka I
am a Fairy Godmother.
*Tonga
-I am now scoring in the intermediate high range for my
Tongan language.

-Almost halfway through my service.
-It is too cold considering I am in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
And a couple of pics of Faina and me being cute :)
Good morning, how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because through them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Tonga? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Tonga in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
