His trip to Albania gave him something to look forward to if he could ever possibly afford it. When Allister came by with the news that he and his wife were going to pay for his mission trip, it left him speechless.
His next trip was to northern India. All-in-all, he went there, three times. From there he went to Africa. His heart jumped for joy, every time he saw a child’s face when they connected to the world via the Internet, for the very first time. He felt that girl’s had a right to equal education. If they were willing, to take the risk of learning he would run the risk of being a Knowledge Smuggler.
He continued to grow at church. From time to time they invited him to speak. He was never comfortable with that and thought others were more qualified. He avoided it like a bad cold.
His relationship with Ellie-Jo and Heather continued at a distance. He would visit at Christmas time but wanted to see more of them. Ellie-Jo’s work schedule always got in the way.
He felt jealous when he learned that Heather would spend some weekends with her grandma. She lived the same distance away from Ellie-Jo as Tank did. However, grandma had a car. The government took away Tank’s driver’s license when he had the stroke. It was impossible for Ellie-Jo to take her down for a visit then drive back up to work and then back to pick her up again.
Tank thought about his ability to care for Heather if she were ever to come for a visit. Ellie and Ellie-Jo knew little of his new-found abilities.
