Greetings in The name Of Jesus Christ! (:



We are so thankful that you would take the time to read our blog.



Its like you are here with us, and i pray that our blog over time would inspire you and bless you just as the Lord continues to bless us.






We finally arrived at my Aunt Peggy's house in Huntsville, AL



We had such a fun time with my aunts, uncle and my dad! We played games and laughed a whole lot. The next day Patrick and I got the opportunity to speak and Aunt Peg's church about our trip to Turkey. It was so wonderful to share our hearts with other loving people. We were so encouraged by the people and we were also bless financially! After church my cousin Bryan, his wife Lisa and Wendy and her two kiddos came and we had such a blast! Patrick rode with uncle Roger on his motorcycle and now Patrick is in love with riding and he wants a motorcycle badly! haha! I was so nice to feel the love and embrace from my family! & the sweetness of Alabama was just a comfort! (:



After Huntsville we traveled to Florence where Patrick lived for 4 years attending University of North Alabama! We visited with lots of friends and Patrick's church where the pastor and his wife totally blessed us and encouraged us! We stayed with Patrick's old roommate Micah



He is such a fun guy! It was like a reunion with everyone who came to hang out!



We met some amazing people mike and Cindy on the way home, they are friends with Patricia (Patrick's mom) & they want to support us!



After Florence Sweet home Birmingham! they are such encouraging people!






We went to my house spent some awesome time with my mom, my brother and my grandmother, aunt and cousins! We also went to our FAVORITE place ever! The boulder fields, we hiked, climbed boulders and just enjoyed the woods and the beauty of nature. We visited with our bother Evan and we had church at his house with a group of people, we had such a beautiful time of worship, encouragement, prayer and fellowship. After Birmingham we went back to Huntsville to see Patrick's mom!



We had a great time with her and her friend Darla. She blessed me with some long skirts for Turkey and made a yummy dinner! :) It was so nice seeing her!



We went back to Bham visited with more friends Jenn and Cynthia Abby and Nick some of my closest friends and the people of the Carpenter shop. Which is a awesome christian book store that we often spend lots of time in prayer for one another! (:



Then on Sunday we headed back to Orlando!



This past week was AMAZING! Carl our team leader taught on relationships AND WOW! it was sooooo so good! We are so thankful for him and his wife Jamie, and by the way they are expecting their baby girl Charlie in 2 weeks! (: NOT only that but as soon as we got back we found out we owns the property they have been perusing for over 4 years! Its going to be an beautiful campus, its 198 acres and set up like a camp ground! We are soo thrilled and so thankful how faithful God is! If you didn't know Our whole base over 80 staff and students trying to squeeze in a church that is too small and stunts the growth of this school, after years of praying and lots of fund raising travel, the goal was met and We now have this amazing land to build on and make this a huge campus for the nations! This Land was previously a camp ground and it has been abandoned for 4 years, so it has alot of work to be done. There has been volunteers from all over donating time, money, skills, and tools to get the job done!..



There is so much vision and dreams of all of the staff and students going in to this place.







Patrick Desires that there be a skate park on the campus where local skaters can come and have a nice place to skate and great opportunity.



I suggested maybe a homeless out reach team and a community thrift store and food bank!
so many other ideas, so much excitement and dreams! We are so blessed to be apart of what God is doing here in Orlando and from Orlando all around the world.
Keep us in your prayers.
Thanks for your prayers and your love!
Love you guys so much,
Lindsey & Patrick!
