Georgia

We had a wonderful time in Georgia. It was humid, yes, but the state and the people were absolutely beautiful. During our two weeks in Georgia we spoke at three churches and toured the South Eastern Conference. We were amazed to see how God moved the churches while we were there.

Below is a picture of a hike we went on one of our first days in GA. The weather was perfect and we hiked out to a place that had a waterfall that we could actually slide down. It was so much fun!

After we went hiking, Pastor Chris Cooper introduced us to a southern delicacy: HOT BOILED PEANUTS. :)

A group of church members from Grayson, GA took us to Stone Mountain and we had a day to visit the Coke Factory, as well as Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta.


We then visited churches in Lizella and Fort Valley, GA. They took us to the 4th largest peach packing plant in the states.


Kevin and I both came down with a bug and lost our voices. Tammy, the pastors wife of the church in Lizella, GA did a great job at nursing us back to health. Even with no voice, God was still able to provide a loaves and fishes day. We had little to give but God multiplied it to do HIS work.

Our last few days in Georgia, we had a great deal of rain from the tail-end of a hurricane. Pastor Clint and Kristy kept us dry by playing games in the house along with encouraging us greatly. We really enjoyed our time in Georgia and meeting all of these special people.

Pennsylvania

Ok, I am going to have to play some catch up here. Hopefully as we become more familiar with blogging, we will also become more frequent in our updates. :)

We had the wonderful opportunity to go to Pennsylvania for 10 days. While we were there we went to two Evangelical churches and taught the youth at the Eastern Family Camp. This was our first time to teach at a youth camp and we were very pleased with the way the sessions went and the relationships we developed with the different people there.

The picture on the right was taken during one of the sessions we taught. Every morning we taught two different age groups. One group consisted of 12-14 year olds and the other included 15-18 year olds. We, as teachers, learned a great deal, and the students provided great insight and feedback for how we can make things even better.

Kevin's favorite part about family camp was the recreational opportunities he was given. The activity on this day was a very soapy slip-n-slide. Later they brought out the shaving cream. Kevin loved every minute.

One last picture to leave you with from Pennsylvania is Kevin once again telling the story of Mario in an outside service on the last Sunday we were there. Pennsylvania was a wonderful experience for us and we will never forget our fist time visiting, teaching and speaking in PA. Thanks to everyone from Pennsylvania for your hospitality.
