Going on a mission!
Moderator:Æron
Many of you already know I've been planning to go on a mission for my church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) for a while. Well, many delays later, the time has finally come. I've gotten the letter telling me where I'm going and what to do, so it's time for me to start saying good-bye for two years.
Okay, enough with the suspense. I've been assigned to go to Las Vegas, Nevada! Not somewhere I would have thought, but it's as good as anywhere. Not that I'll necessarily be in the city all the time--the mission covers much of eastern Nevada, chunks of California and Arizona, and a town or two in Utah. But I'll probably be in the city too, since they move you around a lot over two years (though the mission actually only covers the east half of Vegas, the rest going to a couple of other mission areas.)
I'll be leaving in SIX WEEKS, so you won't be seeing much of anything of me now (other than responding on this thread, of course.) I'll be pretty darn busy getting things ready, and schmoozing around forums is pretty low on my list.
So anyway, I just wanted to say it's been great being here and nice knowing you all. I do hope to return when my term of service is up!
Oh, also, if you by any chance happen to live in the area that I just described, could you maybe PM me with your address and phone number so I can...drop by?

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

A missionary in the City of Sin? Either it's serious business, or the church stuck you with a perceived lost cause while they sent their more promising missionaries elsewhere.

Best of luck in the missionary trip! Have fun in Vegas! Well, not too much fun, if you know what I mean.
No, but seriously, have an excellent two years and stay safe. Hope you can get in touch with us every now and then. Bye, Cam. It's been great knowing you.

Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

It's gonna be interesting without you here for two years, man, but good luck on your trip, and hopefully you can get time to drop by and say hey every once in a while!
Thanks again for the awesome sketch and sketchbook!
Have fun, good luck, and stay as safe as you can, Monsieur Nielsen!

You know, with the title "Going on a mission!" I thought maybe you'd been promoted to secret agent or something.
Maybe you have, and you aren't telling us. Damn, you're good at this. I can see why they chose you. Good luck assassinating enemies of the state!
Silliness aside, take care, and I hope I'm still here when you come back

Thanks a lot for all the well-wishings, guys.
No time, and there are rules about that.Have fun! I'm sure there's at least one computer in Las Vegas that you can talk on here with.
