As I've said before the food here is really good. But this week for some reason it was a little off one night, only I felt it so it was probably just me. Anyway my crew was hanging out around the camp fire like we do every night and writing jokes and I laughing as often do. [I'm unofficially known around camp as 'that guy who laughs really loud'. Big surprise there.] and I wasn't even laughing that hard but for some reason I started puking. Without warning. Five times. And I haven't puked in three years! It was really random and I would have been killing myself laughing if it hadn't been me. And I was fine the next day.
2 Timothy 2:1,6-7
Be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus...It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
Here Paul is imploring Timothy to work hard like a farmer so that he might be a good pastor. It is not a hard leap to suggest that to be a good pastor you need to be able to work really hard. My default is not to work really hard, so I'm kind of learning this the slow way. Treeplanting requires alot of drive and some days [ok every second day] I don't have much drive left. I've spent the last two days reworking my technique because 'Evan the Foreman' thought the way I was planting trees was really funny and brutally ineffective. So I'm learning, painfully and slowly. Heres to learning how to be a farmer.

Do you have the entire bible memorized or do you have QOTD toilet paper? haha.
Also I love that you're the guy who laughs really loud. I could so easily find you in a crowd if something even remotely funny was going on.
Rock on, and try not to burn out,

PS. I'm a cook now. How funny is that.
The loud laughter is a Stobbe thing I find. Your moms got it too. And I could mention many others.
Hey man, it sounds like you're having a good time. I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you keep being the guy who laughs really loud. Don't beat yourself up over stuff.
Also, if possible, pick at the cut on your face so it scabs and scars. Maybe run some dirt in it. Then it will look cool forever.
