If you want to spend a few minutes catching up with Jongo, you are in luck...
I'm sitting in a hotel room right now and thought I'd give all you amazing Lions some insight into my life these days. I know, I know...It's absolutely fascinating stuff lol
But tomorrow is a big day in my life because I'm actually going to be 'doing' the job I was hired for almost 3 months ago lol Let me explain...
I was hired as a truck driver for my church, which routinely takes a semi-trailer around Western Canada and sets up shop. Inside the trailer, we sell bibles, books, gifts and a lot of health food options. It's a pretty big deal for my church and really helps us spread the good news and all!
Problem was, the regular truck driver had retired last year and they had been searching for someone new since then....Along comes Jongo! And even though I was hired in February, I spent the first month learning the store and the systems and last month went on a trip to deliver goods.
Tomorrow is the day that the 'bookstore' goes in service and I get to not only drive the truck, but also become the retail salesman for all the goods we offer...In the semi-trailer lol
It's a pretty slick little set up, and I personally can't wait to meet with people and talk....Bibles and books with them. I know, that may not seem exciting for some but this is why this truly has become the perfect job for me...
I love to drive.
I love to read.
I get to combine these two passions and presto...New career :)
This is just the warm up though, because I will only be set up for two days, then back to the store to re-stock. Then next week, I drive down to the southern part of the province and set up shop for 2 days again.
But the real fun begins this summer....
2-3 week long trips, driving the mobile store around all of Western Canada. Multiple times over the next few months. Which is what I really got hired for....So I'm excited to get started on this little trial run tomorrow.
Last year I spent a ton of time in the trucks driving around America, so this is a little bit different. Even what I'm hauling, because last year it was all flat bed, pipe and industrial products....Now it's food as well as books, which means....A reefer (freezer on a trailer) is needed.
Guess who knows nothing about reefers?? This guy LOL
You should have saw me today trying to climb up on top of the trailer to put coolant in it....What a sight. Anywho, here's praying that things go smoothly with the new adventure. And that people really enjoy getting the mobile store back to their communities.
And that's what's up with Jongo these days LOL
Exciting stuff, I know ;)

This sounds fun and right in your lane man! Good luck and have fun!
Still can't believe I'm getting paid for this lol
Good luck on the adventure. I hope it goes great!!
Thank ya' sir! Should be fun!!
Does sounds like you dream work and there was you sometime ago going mad driving on the road, remember some of those videos 😅 I think that was around the time I got into Hive, las year February 🤔
Goodluck for the new job. Infact a wonderful service to the church rather than a job.
Congrats on your new job, Jongo! 🎉
It's great that you get to bring the good news through selling bibles and health foods.
Have an awesome day tomorrow and success in your new adventure as a truck driver and retailer!
Good luck!!! 🚛📚😊

This sounds great, doing two things that you love together. It must be really soothing. I hope you have a great ride and make so much sales
Good to see you find something that you are going to love. Seems like the right place for you bro. Good luck and be safe out there on the roads!
That has been a good time to prepare. I hope everything goes well and that you have good sales.
It's interesting to see that you are looking forward to it. Are you going to be sleeping in a hotel or in the truck?
That sounds great man! Blessings on your travels and connecting with people!
