Welcome to Decemeber

I can't believe that it is December already!! Maybe because it doesn't feel like it is nearing winter. Yesterday we ripped the roof off of the 2nd half of the church and Pastor Dave's house and it was hot! I hear that it was pretty warm last week in PA, but I was sweating and got some sun! Oh brother, these Floridians dont deserve Christmas with their hot weather. :P At least that is my joke with people.
Well, over Thanksgiving break I feel like I didn't do much, but that is only because I don't remember. We didn't have class for about a week. I was at the Brewer's for Thankgiving. They were kind enough let me come over. I went to the Florida Mall on Black Friday! That was nice. Then we went to Downtown Disney in Orlando. That was pretty boring without money, so I saw "Stranger Than Fiction". It was alright. I got to drive the whole way home (about 1.5 hrs) and I got us to the door at excatly 0200, right on time. I really enjoy driving any chance I get here. I am also one of the best drivers here. Half of the students crazy or scary, the other half are good. :) I was taught well, thanks Dad! The next day we went back to Orlando and spent the night at the interim pastor's house for a small GBC there. On Sunday we led worship since their worship team was on vacation. The church only has about 25 people now and they meet in a theater. They sold their building and school and bought a "mobile church", which is sound equipment packed in a trailer that they set up each week.
This past week we had class. On Tuesday we looked at Mormomism and Scientology, both wacky religions. Did you know that Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, was shot to death in a prison raid? He was the prisnor. Scientology was founded by a sci-fi writer who began it to make money. It believes that an alien lord captured other alien souls and sent them to earth where they inhabit human bodies which gives us our emotions and confusion. yeah. Wednesday and Thursday we got through the first 4 chapters. Friday was with Aaron and we did Philippians. Work wise, on Tuesday we cleared some jungle from Mike Ford's ranch so the prayer walk would look nicer. Mike is a godly man who lives in a ranch in Lorida and allows people to have functions there free of charge with hopes of sharing the Gospel with them. Wednesday we had our last Cross Connections of the month, wrapping up our series on the family and we ate spaghetti. On Thursday we washed some fire trucks. Friday we finished building a picnic table for a couple in the church and that evening Travis and I got to ride on a fire truck in the Sebring Christmas parade! That was a neat experience. The circle is now lit up like Candlylane, but very tacky with dolphins, alligators, flamigos, and racing flags. There is also very annoying music that plays all day long till about 2200. Saturday was the roofing, 10 hours of roofing. Today we went to the late service (Thank you Ben!) and then to dinner at someone's house who I can't spell. Randy and his family was there as well. From there we went to Pastor Dave's house for 2 hours and cleaned up the mess we made yesterday. And there you go, now you are all caught up. Tomorrow I have a lead on a job offer and hopefully I will get to do some work that pays! That would be great, wouldn't it parents? Well, I guess you want to see some pictures too, so here you go. I intentionally put them after this to see if you would really read all of this before looking at them.
