Abegglen, Jason Added 9/17/99

Hey Colombianos! It's good to see everybody on here, I guess it's my turn. I am currently living in South Jordan, UT and attending school at the BYU Salt Lake Center and will be attending full time at BYU in the spring of 2000. I work as a laser printer technician for Printelligent and I was married on May 16, 1998 to Trisha Nelson of Bluffdale, UT. I would love to return to Colombia someday, for some strange reason I have been craving those bland smashed platanos and Pony Maltas. I served in seven areas including Cali, Armenia, Sevilla, Ipiales, Popayan, Dos Quebradas, and Buga. I would love to get together with some of you in the neighborhood sometime, keep in touch. Que Dios los bendiga!
