Greetings! I said we have to do this more and then did not post for over 2 weeks. Pretty ironic I think. We have been busy always trying to stay flexible. We are the traveling roadshow. Traveling between Tampa and Orlando trying to always meet with people. We are thinking as we meet with people either the holidays will be fruitful because people get more generous around the holidays or people will be extremely busy and have many holiday gifts to buy.
One of my favorite things that we have done in the last two weeks is that we attended Flavor Fest 2008 on the night of November 7th at Crossover Community Church in Tampa Florida. I have been growing up going to Christian rap shows there for years. It was really fun for me, but it was also the first time that Amanda had ever attended. She was a good sport and stood with me for about three hours as we walked around from stage to stage and hanging out with a guy I worked with at Pershing last year, Brian or Alpha Simplicity.
We got to talk to Jutty on the 14th. It was a much anticipated call that had a lot of business in the hour we talked. We did get to hear about the focus on the 25 Italians that have shown interest in the ministry instead of meeting new ones. I think this is extremely important if we want to have Italians taking ownership of the ministry within the next year or two. We are excited to keep in touch with them every 1-2 weeks to keep a fresh vision. I think it is easy for us to get lost in what the vision is for Italy with not being there. It is also easy to blame the people over there for not contacting us as much as I would have them do so. We have to remember that they are running the ministry and now with Vonage phones we can call, too!

This past weekend we got to visit Glenwood Presbyterian in DeLand on November 23rd. We spoke at few Sunday school classes. It was good because some stuff in Saint Augustine and Jacksonville did not work out. It was good to share our vision with some people either of us had not known in our pasts.
We are excited about Thanksgiving tomorrow!!!
