Sorry to all of you ...my blog readers (as if I have a big following...hahaha) I have been in a whirlwind in my journey to island here in Turks and Caicos. And in my attempt to always have these long blogs, I err on the side of not doing any. But I know that you care, which is why you are reading, and so I am going to just post short and long posts.
I just arrived yesterday and since the train was late, I had to get creative about how to get to the airport in Miami from my friend house in North Palm Beach County. So, I caught a ride with this guy who works for American Airlines who was equally frustrated about the tardiness of the train. For me, I saw it as a chance to be a light to this guy. And it gave me a chance to practice my French (as he was a Frenchman!) Pretty cool opportunity that the Lord gave me.
I landed last night at around 9 o'clock. The Paatz family greeted me, along with Michael, all faithful servants of the Lord. We went directly to the youth group meeting where I met the 20 young boys who were jumping on the trampoline, eating chips and salsa, and shooting basketball in the front driveway.
I got home a little later that night and then got up this morning at 6:50 to hustle over to the men's ministry meeting. Then went to check out a potential location for our church to meet. After that I drove around town for the first time on the left side of the road!!! crazy. I only got honked at once. (smile). then I just looked around a little bit. Came home and made sloppy joes (Manwich - just for nostalgic purposes). Following that the afternoon was just hanging out on the beach and swimming a little... very little (the water was rough today).
I am excited for my new step in ministry here, and I am waiting on the Lord regarding meeting the right people and getting plugged into the community.
Thank you for praying with me for God's glory to be seen here in TCI!
