Dear Family and Friends,

I regret to inform you that HoodieLove will not be updated for a minimum of two years because I will be serving as a full-time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Maceio, Brazil. I know that this is the right thing to do and can say with assurity that the gospel will benefit those who are taught it.

If you want/need to contact me during these two years, you may send a letter to me through a "pouch system." My address and other information can be found in this handy print-out.

In the meantime, be sure to celebrate Hoodie Day and participate in a positive way to your local or worldwide community, be it through the Hoodie Project or otherwise. Teaching, for example, is not only rewarding, but is also one of the most productive services you can offer another person.

If you want a more recent update on my life as a missionary, please check out my Flickr account, which will be updated by my family periodically. Thank you and be sure to do some good.
