Unfortunately, direct contact with me will be very limited while I'm gone. The best way to reach me is through the mail.
Starting in the first week of July, my address will be:
Elder Chandler James Balkman
Canada Toronto West Mission
197 County Court Blvd. Ste 203
Brampton, ON L6W 4P6
Canada
Another way to reach me is through chandler.balkman@myldsmail
This is a full, two year commitment. It will be a break from school, and from skiing, and many of the things that I love. I also know that the challenge will be rewarding. I have no experience with Mandarin Chinese, but that's what I will be speaking nearly the entire time.
My apologies to any of you that I've fallen out of contact with over the last few years. I'd love to hear from you while I'm gone, and if you take the time to write to me I'll be sure to hit you back.
In May of 2012, I will be back to normal life, ready to go to school/work, maybe finding some late spring skiing, and picking up everything where I left off.
Best regards to all,
Chandler Balkman
