A lot of you have been asking, but in case you were wondering "Where is Matthew?"

Well, I am on the Island of Antigua in the Caribbean working with a mission team doing some work with the natives here. No, I haven't done much tourism besides jumping in the ocean. A lot of the work has been with a Vacation Bible school with a lot of children. We had 81 yesterday, and over 125 today. Before we came, the pastor was expecting 60 by the end of the week. Well, now we're expecting more than that now.

It's hard for me to get on the Internet as I'm completely busy all the time. Although they do have a 256k "dial up" connection, it works for me. I'm used to a 12MB line. I've tried really hard to get on EF while I'm down here but it's really hard. In that time, Lee got time to pass me in posts :taz: :taz: :taz:. I'm still writing some articles, recruting members, and posting... doing all I can do to be on top.... but we'll see how it works out by the end of the month

Hope you're having a good time there Matthew. I've always been posting here with a 56k dial-up connection, you'll manage.

Try to spend some time off the computer also. Enjoy your time in the Caribbean. Don't worry, you'll win this contest. :thumbup1:

Thank you for saving a tee for me! I'm having a blast I could probably live here, except that I don't have any big friends here. The Internet connection might be a problem too, but honestly, I don't think so... I love it here. The people are really open and it's neat

That's cool that you are doing that missions work Matthew. Hope it all goes well and that your time there is well worth it.

Don't forget to take some time to relax on the beach while you are there! Take plenty of pictures! :-D

How much would it cost to get a satellite linkup in Antigua?
With that, Internet connections problem will be a thing of the past...
