the ones this war is against; they are the ones who must be stopped. But the challenge exists not within the body, but within the mind frame; for a war against a man—an idea—many can halt. But a war against a religion—a faith-few can deter. A religion, a way of life, a cul-ture-aspects of a nation that even natives struggle to grasp. But a smile, a laugh, a shrug-these are universal features that have universal meaning. No confusion, no misunderstandings, no mistakes. In only two months I have met amazing people: young and oldsome very similar to me, others the complete opposite. I have formed incredible friendships, those that will last a lifetime. I have spent hours in deep conversation. We speak of ethics, business, religion, drugs, and politics. Most opinions are shaped by cultural environment, some through experience, and others by how they were raised, but all are unique. Each new person leads to a greater understanding, to more tolerance. Each day my mind is broadened and Malaysia was no exception to the rule. Malaysia is a land of diverse terrain. There is a place for everything. Yet, with only 3 days time, choices must be made. Most headed for the majestic beaches, and I was not one to jump off the bandwagon. I relaxed; I tanned-attempted to that is; I water skied with the

natives. I enjoyed the local delicacies and skinny-dipped in the Andaman Sea. The jellyfish, however, taught me a lesson I will never forget. It was a needed break; everything was perfect. But as amazing as the beach was, still I was in seek of a greater challenge. I had no plans. I knew little of this seductive country. On a whim I packed my bags and headed out: four of us, two I had never met. But that is what is so unique about this voyage.' • You may not know everyone, but- we all have come with the same goal-to explore the world. As such we are uniquely similar. We took a taxi for 100 miles; cost: $lO. We journeyed to the highest jungle trek attainable: Mount Jerai. One mountain, peaking at 1 mile high, 13 miles of path to reach it, 95-degree heat, 100% humidity, 4 hours later: insanity. I literally walked through the clouds. I was ambushed by monkeys. I ignored warning signs I am still attempting to decipher. I hiked

leaders recognized

Elkhart County’s 4-H adult volunteer leaders were recognized Thursday evening, November 7, at the Greencroft Senior Center, Goshen. This was the 56th year of continuous sponsorship by the Elkhart County Farm Bureau Inc., North Central Co-Op, and the Elkhart County Farm Bureau Credit Union.

Farm Bureau Insurance presented leaders with 4-H planning calendars. This was the ninth year for Adult Leader Service Awards recognizing 4-H adult leaders for their loyal and dedicated service to the Elkhart

off the path to explore strange noises: noises that originated from above—l pushed on. I abruptly discovered what I learned later was a deserted communist military camp-except it was certainly not abandoned, by any means, as I was escorted down the mountain by an armed military guard. The day was filled with an incredible view, an adventure: an experience I would trade for nothing. Mount Jerai: mission complete, job well done, casualties: none. We had no idea where we were going, what we were getting ourselves into, or what was going to happen. But when I look back I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I ended up where I intended to be. Until next time, Walt (Note —North Wood High School graduate Walt Fales continues his “semester at sea” adventure. Fales is the son of Bill and Beverly Fales, Nappanee).

County 4-H program.
