So a month later...

Life is much busier than I thought it would be. Here's what's up:

I am back at home, living at home and going to University of Texas at Arlington on scholarship. I am pursuing a Civil Engineering degree and a minor in Business that I plan to use to help people in Africa get clean water. Should take about 4 years. In the meantime, I'll be busying myself in varied things and organizations and activities around here, such as getting more involved at church and school and going evangelizing. I also intend on using the summers to do very outreaches. I'm looking at doing a series of seminars about farming/sustainable agriculture, water technologies, and aquaculture, followed by an outreach to a foreign country to apply what we learned. As well as work to some degree with Missions during the summer. But that is in the future, and we'll see. I will keep all of you posted.

I'm sure many of you would like to hear about many of the things that happened over the last year, and I would love to share them. I'll talk about a different location every other Friday with a story and a picture-if i have a picture (and hopefully throw some other stuff in occasionally during the week). I'll start officially next week with the first location-Nashville, then Chicago, etc.

For now, just maybe a short snippet of travel:

So here is what my view was most of the time on the road. This or the back of heads. As well as a lot of the country. (It's really green up north esp.) You bond really well with people you sit next to over a bunch of hours. This may not be the most exciting picture, but then again, it illustrates the fact that 8-28 hours in a car at one time is not always the most exciting thing ever.

We started out with good 13 hour drive and got to Nashville. Everywhere we went we drove in a mini van, a 12 passenger, and a suburban which the band rode in. We covered a couple thousand miles in all up and down the east coast area, and were on outreach from June till August. This came after the lecture phase, which was spent entirely in Orlando learning, getting training and "practicing" (in a sense) for outreach.
