Amos a true friend and gentleman
I had a pen I needed engraved so I contacted Amos and agreed on a price and what to be engraved. Well I sent it off and a email or two later we confirmed that the Australian spelling of the word was to be used.
Something I didn't even give a thought to, but Amos did. I then got a phone call to ask me what the young fellas nam was. I told Amos and he said thanks and went on his way. I thought what is my friend up to ) Well not only did Amos engrave the pen he also engraved a display box something I had not given thought to.
Amos I just want to say thank you from my heart to yours. There is a side story to this. The pen is for my dear friend Vicki-Ann's son who will be leaving in 4 weeks time for a 2 year mission with his church.She has been told her mum has 6 weeks to live because of cancer. I showed her the photos and she just broke down and cried. She is also fighting the insurance company as her home was devestayed by the floods.
Boo is the sister I never had. Why do I call her Boo? When we were growing up I couldn't say the beautiful, I called her bootiful, so Boo stuck and she has always called me bub because I am younger.
So Amos from Boo and Bub thank you so very very much for shining a bit of light into a dark time of her life. All our love to you my friend.
If the photos are squished I sent them from my phone. If so maybe Amos can help me out before I get to my laptop.
Cheers
Darren

Two guys I count as true friends doing as they always do when like mine their word is their bond and then exceeding agreements as a habit. Darren and Amos this young man is a member of my faith and I confirm that his decision to dedicate two years of his time and expense will be helped by the sentiments engraved by Amos. Friendship is precious and needed by all of us.
My best for your friend Vicky-Ann,s family Darren please convey to them how Wilma was sustained and still is by the prayers of us.
Like the pen, love the sentiment and choices all round.
Kind regards Peter.Nil Desperandum

Peter my friend, your message I shall convey. Ammon is a wonderful young man as is Jordan-Ann, his twin sister a beautiful young lady. Ammon is an exceptional swimmer, I think one day soon we will watch him swim for Australia. The sentiment for the pen was Boo's, the pen is mine and the engraving and the display box was Amos'. With the combination of the three of us there will be enough love in the pen to sustain Ammon for his mission and to "Return With Honour".
