Why a blog?

I´ve tried starting diary´s loads of times and never lasted more than a month. I always ended up thinking, what´s the point, I know what I´m doing and thinking why put it on paper.
However when I moved to Nicaragua, my Dad said I should, that when he moved to serve in another country he didn´t and he wished he had, as he´s forgotten many details, names, etc... So for a change I´ve decided to listen to those wiser than me. By the way this blog thingy is pretty cool, it goes a step further, I can also collect messages, comments from my friends which will mean a lot to me. So please spare a minute for me and say hi.
