Staff Team:

This is a picture of our staff team from the Staff Conference we had last weekend. The top row is Alyssa, Martha, Linda, Me, John, and Dave. Bottom Row: Nikki, Kyle, and Stephanie. Linda, Kyle and Nikki are part time staff. All of them have been a blessing in many different ways. They are great listeners and very fun, loving people. Kyle and John are my roomates!

 

Work Hard, Play Hard...

Every Saturday morning, we go over to our director's house and spend the morning helping him and his family with yard work and stuff like that. Then after we are done, we eat together and get to play with their children (They have 9 children!). I've enjoyed this time, more for the lessons learned than the hard work itself. But it makes me appreciate all the hard work that my parents did for our family. Parents have jobs, children to take care, houses to take care, and many are involved in their church. Thanks to all you parents out there! Below is a picture of David, Benjamin, and Me after our Saturday morning work time.














After a long and busy week, our team (Alyssa, John, Stephanie, and myself) decided to go to the beach after church on Sunday. The beaches are around 1 hour away from where we live. W e had a great time playing in the waves and just swimming. I really enjoy our team and the fellowship that we get to have. It's a great encouragement to me. It was Alyssa's first time going to a beach on the East coast!














Just thought I would throw in a picture of some of our crazy Florida State fans! There was around 8 or so guys that painted up for the game this past Saturday. Which we lost :(

Pre-Game Fun!

This past weeekend we have a pre-game cookout for the 1st Florida State home game! God blessed it with around 50 guys and girls that came out to eat and hang out. There were around 12 people that came from the dorm that a few of us have been ministering in, so that was exciting! Florida State didn't play very well, but we got our 2nd win! Wohoo!

(Below is the group of people that came from Smith Hall, where John (my teamate), myself, and few others have been ministering.)














Below is an example of some girls decked out in Florida State School Spirit!















Chief Oseola (Our mascot) gets the fans pumped up before the game!















Here is a picture of our team that is all here now. Top row (Me, John, Dave). Bottom row: Stephanie, Alyssa, and Martha. Dave and Martha are couple that have been on staff at Florida State for over 20 years and are leading our team. It has been a blessing to get to know them and learn from them. They are full of grace and wisdom! I have enjoyed listening to Dave pray.

FSU Wins!

I'm learning how big football is here at Florida State! We had around 30 or more students over to a friends apartment to watch the FSU vs Miami game. We had a good time, even thought both teams didn't play that great. After FSU beat Miami Monday night, students we jumping and dancing in the streets and people everywhere were blowing their horns and setting off fireworks. People love foootball! I was just imagining what it would be like for students at Florida State to celebrate God like that. To be so excited to be a child of God that they would be dancing in the streets! Pray for that here! Thanks!

Rafting Trip:

Our rafting trip this past weekend went pretty good. We had around 53 students from Florida State go. I was a little dissappointed, because only 1 guy from our dorm came, but it still was a blessing to get to know him bettter and some of the other students. The one guy that did come is named Scott and is interested in reading the Bible with me. Pray that God would open his heart and that the gospel would become real to him. Thanks for your partnership and prayers along this process. I miss you all!
