Tornadoes...

Well - when I left for Suffolk, Virginia on Monday April 28, 2008 - I knew there was a possibility of bad weather - but when I landed (me being the weather nut that I am) was a little disappointed that there were no storms! Little did I know that in a matter of 90 minutes I was going to be within a few miles of an F3 twister!

The picture is of the F3 twister that went through the Suffolk, Virginia and of some damage to trees, buildings and a tree that fell on a house!

I Can Smell IT!

Have you ever gotten so excited about something that was just around the corner that you "could smell it!"? - Well that is how I feel as last night...sitting at 91% of what I need to return to Peru... I bought my ticket!!

My departure date is June 3rd out of Jacksonville, FL! I am also traveling with a member of my church as to show them Pucallpa, Peru so they can prepare our church for teams to come down!

A step of faith - I still need $350 in monthly support...so I am super excited to be "on the books!" and eagerly look forward to my return trip to Peru!

Dear Baseball Fans...

This pic is for the die hard Bravos fan - I got to see the Braves and Cards play in Orlando, FL on March 10th - and well Javy Lopez was back with the Braves looking to make the team. Well after a steller career...soon after this photo was taken he decided to step down. This shot is one of Javy Lopez's last home run shots...if not the last one ever! I caught the ball comin off the bat!

Learning Times!!!

Hi all! I really do not have this blogging thing down as of yet! So, please forgive me if my blog looks really really weak! I am currently in North Carolina where I have been active in exercising this brain of mine in the form of two missions classes!

The first class was called "Effective Teams and Team Leaders" and the class I am now enrolled in at JAARS in Waxhaw, NC is a security seminar...both have been very good! I am enjoying my time here as I get to meet up with former missionaries from Pucallpa, Peru as I look forward to returning soon!

It is my dear hope to be back in Peru by the end of May/first part of June...that is the goal! After North Carolina...I am driving to Kentucky. I then will be making trips to Virginia and to Texas...hoping to gather the remaining support!

I will write something again soon...as to practice this blog thing!!!
