Hi Everyone,
WE MADE IT.... hehe. After many hours of flying and riding and pacing
in the airport we arrived in Africa. It has been a wonderful
experience so far. It's like a hands on Bible Course and I love it. I
slept really good last night like normal. I believe I inherited my
grandfathers ability to sleep almost anywhere. =) I stayed up later
once I arrived and was able to thankfully get on the internet :D So I
was able to catch up on my emails and send out updates for my iPhone
applications. Unfortunately I was not able to complete them before I
left because of some technical difficulties. But, I was extremely
pleased with their results because what they told me would for sure
take almost 2 weeks they found it didn't take as long and they got it
done in a few days. I got a team that works for me in India and a lady
that does some graphic work for my in Italy and so it makes it really
fun with them being on different time zones and it makes it even more
interesting when I start flying to other countries like Thailand and
now on the African continent.
Sooo, okay today I woke up around 6:30 Bot Time and realized it is
not possible to take a shower without a towel, well I guess it's
possible, but it would make me rather uncomfortable for the rest of
the day. So I was able to do my devotions etc. and then find out where
the towels were later. Then throughout the morning all us guys
filtered through the shower and then had a breakfast of eggs and
toast. Great stuff. Pastor then had a group devotional and showed us
the method he uses for developing plans for the the day, the week, or
even your life. Great stuff. My brother Titus was pretty awed by
everything taught also and is quite excited that he could come.
There was also a number of people who wanted to meet with us and so
we met and had a great time talking. The people here are very
friendly. Thank you for all who have told me that they are praying for
me. It was such a HUGE blessing to hear from sooo many of you and know
that you were concerned for the work. Prayer makes great things happen!

Well I heard some of you have figured out already that you can simply go to www.lvbaptist.org and listen to the past sermons and don't need to wait for me to eventually post them :) But, in case you have been patiently waiting here are the three parts of my Pastor's Series "Seven Steps to Getting to the Marriage Altar"
These messages have been so good. I hope they are a challenge and a blessing to you all!
ALSO, in case you are wondering who is playing the beautiful harp music and singing at the beginning of the message of Part Three... That would be my wonderful sisters Nina and Selena =)
Have a Great Day!

Here is a link to a video I took with my iPhone of my moms surprise
B'day... It was a really special day for my mom. It was quite a busy
day for us :) We were able to have a few ladies and our grandparents
to the house and when my mom got back from a trip at the beach with my
dad she was completely shocked to see us all waiting inside. I'll put
the video online tomorrow which my sisters and I made for my mom. It
was a very nice day :D and very special to her.
