Hello Journal, this is the first time I have written in you for years. I am really glad I have found you, because I have been really needing you lately. Journal, I have been so stressed out. I remember how when I was young, you really helped me deal with all of my stress, so I am going to start writing to you again. I am sure you remember Teresa, the girl that I have talked about since I first bought you? Well we are married now, and have two beautiful children! But that's why I have been so stressed out lately. We have been living in the new world for a couple years now, and we've met so many people. We live near a tribe of Native Americans, that we have been friendly with them for a long time. We have made many trades with them, and they have helped us so much. But we lost contact with them because they have started to hate all the new settlers. All of our neighbors are randomly fleeing from this country all together, and many of them have been killed. They seem to be so powerfull at the moment right now, because everyone is afraid of them except for the French for some reason. I don't really know what I am going to do, should I flee with my family back to Switzerland, or should I stay and hope for the best?
