On my way


Brittney, Myself, and Jeremy shooting guns on the farm


      For the next 7 months I will traveling all around the world doing everything from milking cows and leading worship to being a groomsman in a buddies wedding.
      I just got back from the Thanksgiving weekend in Missouri on a farm owned by my friend Jeremy's dad.  I had quite a few "first" while there.  Rode horses bareback, herded cows, milked cows, saw over 40 barn cats, shot clay birds, drank sassafras tea, and watched The Notebook.  It was such a great time, and I felt so blessed to be able to be a part of the Turpin family while there.  Despite being sick and throwing up on Saturday night, I was able to lead worship for their small local country church.  I was so blessed to be able to serve them in that way and just allow the Holy Spirit minister to them as I sang over the congregation.
       My next travels take me to Pennsylvania next weekend to be a groomsman in Jeremy's wedding (the above couple).
        From Dec. 19-26 I will be at home in Dothan, AL for Christmas with my family!!  I can't wait to be there with my friends and fam.  My sister is due to have her first kid on January 30th, so i'm excited to see her fat belly :)  
        December 28-February 10th takes me to Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida on a Mobile team trip to bring  an awakening to the youth and church of America with the Spirit of God!!  
         Lots of things are happening in February and March, but the big exciting thing is that I'll be moving to Skien, Norway to join the YWAM base there from March 21st to June 26th, to work with their mobile team, worship department, teaching mini School's of Worship, and recording an album.  The best part is that I will be doing all this ministry my lovely girlfriend Erika!  She's also on staff at this base and has been a huge part of planning the whole trip.  There will be more details to come!

Great update! The way you deliver information is so colorful, when I do it, it is more like a check-list. One of the many things I can learn from you on I suppose. Oh, and by the way, I am not fat. I am a very cute pregnant lady I will have you know. Good thing I love you so much, my belly forgives you:)
