Travels

We made it to and from both Mississippi and California safely and not too exhausted. Our trip to Mississippi was wonderful. We got to see some good friends from college and watching Kyle and LeAnn get married was so great! We spent a few hours with my family before driving back to Texas.


















California was amazing. We were in Los Angeles for the Awaken conference at Mosaic Church. I ran into some old friends from church in Mississippi. We got to hear Erwin McManus, Bill Hybels, Nancy Ortberg, Wayne Cordeiro, Rick McKinley, Dan Kimball, and many many others. They were so encouraging to listen to. It was pretty much this think tank of ideas about leadership, evangelism, and culture. I took like 18 pages of notes and have to read them to remember everything we were able to hear. It really was incredible.
On top of all that, we were able to go to Hollywood, the Chinese Theater, Santa Monica Beach, downtown LA, a Dodgers game, the Rose Bowl, and Rodeo Drive. It was totally cool. I was geeked out the whole time, even though we didn't see anyone famous. We really had a good time getting away from school and being able to relax. Looking forward to going back there some day!
























We have a lot coming up also. We are approaching finals, so we have papers due and tests to study for. When that is all over in about a week and a half, we'll start working our full time jobs. We are not taking any summer classes. We need some time to relax. Also, this summer we are going on mission trips to Puerto Rico and the gulf coast of Mississippi. We are greatly looking forward to those. Please be praying for us. We have so much going on and we are just trying don't want to be overwhelmed. I cannot believe we have almost finished two semesters of seminary graduate school. It is crazy! But we are having a good time, learning a lot, growing a ton, and trying to enjoy everything.
