Florida

So I haven't updated this thing for quite some time. Nobody ever accused me fo being consistant. Anyway...
Our team is now back together after a month break in December. Since the fourth of January we have been in the sunny state of Florida. We started in Miami, where the weather got down to 40 degrees!!!! Not normal. Wayside Baptist Church was a great experience. Melissa and I stayed with an older lady who traveled with Life Action as a school tutor in 1995. It was great to share stories with her.
New Port Richie, Florida presented blessings of its own. The youth group there was one of most 'on fire for Chirst' youth groups I've seen in all my four years of traveling.
We are presently serving in Interlachen, Florida, a small town about an hour south(?) of Jacksonville. First Baptist Church is very small. I believe the membership is about 150 people. We have had adults and children come from neighboring towns. It has been a good overall experience. Kristin and I are staying with the sweetest older lady in the whole world. She's in her eighties and has almost fifteen great-grandchildren.
