Hello World,

  I am back in The States! Yes, I have returned to the land of the brave and free…. Something like that. I arrived home on Thursday, 10:30 at night. My amazing parents were there to meet me and we got home around 2:00.

  It's been a few days and the reverse culture shock has not stopped. Big cars driving everywhere, shopping centers and super Wal-Mart's. Its absolutely terrifying. We as Americans have been so incredibly blessed and it is good to be reminded of that. I am so thankful for this country and how God has endowed us with the means to serve others and send His word to the unreached. As I spend this next month preparing to go out in His service once more, this time leading a mission through the Amazon, I am reminded of all the people that heard His call to send me to the DR a year ago and obeyed.

  Now at the end of a phenomenal year of growth, understanding and pursuing Gods best for those around me I need to come back and say Thank you! Thank you for believing in me, for seeing Gods plan and for joyously obeying.

  God prepared me in ministry and discipleship to go out and lead and disciple others. I am heeding to His calling and have been blessed beyond what I could ever imagine because of it.

  If you would like to talk to me about my next mission in The Amazon, Peru or would be interested n joining in with me on Gods great adventure my email is

Oh and i was baptized in the Caribean Ocean on my last day in the DR!

God bless and Thank you!
