Going away for a while

The time has come for me to say farewell to you all for a good long time. I just wanted to thank the coummunity here as a whole for the great advice, laughs, and general friendship even though I know none of you personally. Oh, and also thank you for the good deals on some sick gear!

I am headed to the Frankfurt, Germany area for two years to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. If you don't recognize the church by that name you probably will know it as the 'Mormon' church. Sorry if the religious reference offends, but I don't have access to the outer circle and so this goes here. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to thank everyone and to let you know what I'll be doing for two years. I am so excited to be going.

So, all you German HFCers . . . I'm comin' to your neighborhood for a couple of years. I'd love to run into some of you at some point if that could work. I'll even talk to you in German! Any of you live near Frankfurt am Main or to the west? I could even be in the area of Dusseldorf or Koln (sorry, don't know how to do the umlaut). Maybe even in Kaiserslautern. Let me know where all of you are and your actual names so I can maybe visit you.

I'll be back here to the forum in a couple of years and I'll be looking to jump right back in. Until then, you boys have a good time and behave yourselves.

break a leg.

just not in the mountains.

airlift there is muy expensivo.

 
It is never an offense to identify yourself as a member of the Latter Day Saints.

Have a good time in Germany and check in every now and then. Two years is too long of an estimate.

 
I don't know if it's allowed while you're on your mission, but check in from time-to-time if you can.

Andy, best of luck with your travel. I admire you for answering your call to serve and minister. My daughters have very good friends who live the Latter Day faith. Is it true that you must refrain from various forms of electronic media or do I have that wrong?

How's that old Gibson amp treatin ya?

 
Since you're gonna be in Frankfurt, you can go and check out Nik Huber's place in Rodgau (40 minues on the intercity subway).

And if you drive south you're more that welcome to stop over at my dig (southern Switzerland)

Have a good trip!

Thank you all for the well-wishes and support. I really do appreciate it. This will be a new adventure for me. I am so excited. I leave tomorrow for some training in German and then I'll be in Germany by November.

The Gibson is treating me fabulously. I got some new NOS matched tubes that even made it come alive even more. Thanks for the good deal on that one, by the way. I'm happy to hear that your family has had contact with LDS families. I'm not quite sure that electronic media isn't ok. I sure use a lot of it. Though, there is certainly restrictions how to use them, so I won't be surfing for pornography anytime soon. Maybe that's where the confusion was. If anyone has other questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Thanks JJ Paul for letting me know that Nik's shop is in the Frankfurt area. I was really hoping it would be. I'll definitely be paying him a visit /emoticons/default_smile.png
