Robert Lofgran

Robert made me laugh more than anybody I've ever known. Robert Arrived in Belgium two weeks before anybody else, even Bernard who was in America at the time. So, he stayed in a hotel in Oostkamp exploring the snow covered area. When he got here his first roommate was Eric, and then he had to change when Eric got sick. So he swapped with Nate, who was also sick at the time. Thats how Rob became my roommate. He is now 24 and comes from Wyoming (second most boring place next to the crop filled Nebraska).

He always had interesting stories, mostly about the two years he spent in Brazil as a missionary. I would often hear him talking in Portuguese to some of his friends in Brazil. Robert also had a an obsession with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, on which he would pile half a tub of peanut butter and then top it off with a jar of jam on one slice. He also taught me the art of making pancakes, monstrous two inch ones that would fill the whole pan and come out perfectly tanned without a burn in site.

Roberts wife arrived about a week before he left, who was just as friendly as he was.
Another cool thing about Rob is that he went to the same highschool as Napoleon Dynamite; if you've seen the movie you'll know what I'm talking about. Apart from having a stem as long as a concorde, Rob was one of the most down to earth people in the house. You can check out his blog, which is in both English and Portuguese at www.robertlofgran.blogspot.com.
