If it weren’t for bad luck

Whether or not you agree with their doctrines you have to respect the Mormons for putting their “money where their mouth is” by doing missionary work.

I would stay away from him.

There's an old saying about bad things happening in threes. Looks like he should be all clear!

FWIW, they are not in the military. They are living in an upper crust neighborhood in Tokyo.

I knew a guy in Baghdad that had a series of unbelievable close calls with mortar attacks. I usually left whenever he showed up.

Regardless of the answer, he seems to be a kind of lighting rod. Maybe intelligence agencies should pay attention to his travel plans and prepare accordingly. I don’t say this in jest or to make light of his experiences.

“I would stay away from him.”

Yeah, no lie! God is trying to tell him something (like STAY HOME!) and he’s too stupid to get the message.

Can you publish his itinerary so I’ll know where to avoid? God has set this young man a difficult road.

I assume that since the bombings, his missionary days are over. He’ll return home and begin his life anew................
