Caryn finished fixing ディナー and told John that it was ready. As they ate, John said, "This is really good, Caryn." She said, "Thank you. My grandmother taught me how to cook." He said, "My grandmother taught me how to cook, too." Caryn smiled and said, "That's something cool that we have in common." After they finished eating, John helped Caryn wash the dishes. She said, "You didn't have to do that, John." He said, "I don't mind it. I've had to wash dishes most of my life anyway." She said, "Well, I appreciate your help." After that, she asked, "Are あなた ready to go in the pool?" He said, "We just ate. Aren't あなた supposed to wait an hour?" She laughed and said, "Turns out, that's a myth. You're no もっと見る likely to drown または get cramps if あなた go swimming after あなた eat." John smiled a little at this, but it didn't make him feel much better. He knew he had to tell Caryn the truth. If he pretended everything was all right, it would create a dishonest relationship. As the two of them headed to the pool, John said, "Caryn, I have something to tell you." She asked, "What is it, John?" He said, "I, um, I'm afraid of water." She asked, "Why didn't あなた tell me?" He said, "I was afraid that あなた would be ashamed of me." She hugged him and said, "John, I 愛 you. I could never be ashamed of you, ever." He said, "Well, that's a relief." She said, "I could help あなた overcome your fear. Don't worry; I won't let あなた drown." He said, "Okay." He took a step closer. He then slipped and fell into the pool. John began to panic under the water. Which way was up? Just then, he felt someone pulled him to the surface. He coughed up some water, and he looked to see who helped him. It was Caryn. She was still holding on to him. She asked, "Are あなた okay?" He said, "I think so." She said, "No wonder you're scared of water. Has this happened to あなた a lot?" He said, "More than I care to admit, but that's not why I'm afraid of water." She asked, "What happened to make あなた so afraid?" He said, "When Pastor Thomas attempted to murder me for the 秒 and final time, he shot me, and it caused me to fall into a river. I went under, and I couldn't see anything. Luckily, Peter jumped in to save me. I didn't come close to drowning, but it was close enough for me. As for the gunshot wound, the bullet didn't go in very deep. It only penetrated the skin." Caryn cried as she listened to the story. She said, "I'm so sorry this happened to you, but Pastor Thomas isn't here to hurt あなた now. On 上, ページのトップへ of that, this water is shallow and calm. あなた don't have to swim. Just stand up." This made John feel confident. He stood 次 to Caryn and said, "Thanks, Caryn. I'm glad I told あなた about my fear." She said, "You're welcome. I'm glad about that, too."
During the 4th of July celebration in Oak Ridge, the members of New Religion decided to take Klondike out with them to get him used to noise and crowds. Lots of people stopped them and asked to pet Klondike. He was very happy getting petted. One person said, "He's a beautiful dog. What kind of dog is he?" Erin said, "He is a クロス between a German Shepherd and a Siberian Husky." Another person asked, "How old is he?" Paul replied, "He will be three months old later this month." Klondike enjoyed all the attention he was getting. He didn't seem to mind the noises during the parade. That night, he wasn't even bothered によって the fireworks. Carl said, "I think he's mascot material. He doesn't have a problem with crowds または noises." Lola said, "Yeah. He will do well when he starts touring with us." The members of New Religion knew that they got the perfect dog to be their new mascot when Fritz retires. Klondike will have big shoes to fill, but he'll certainly fill them.
