**I have been trying to mail this letter for the last week, but have had no Internet access on my laptop. Hopefully I can get it mailed while I’m at one of the three airports I’ll be in today!** Sunday update: didn’t happen at the airports. This is being sent from Oregon!Here is a quick recap of my last four weeks.
Four weeks ago I was in Oregon & packing to head to Florida!
Three weeks ago I was in Florida! (more…)
In October 2008 I spent three weeks in Florida, and while down there, I was able to go to the NTM Home Office quite a few times. Our USA Home Office has close to 200 staff members serving 2,300 American missionaries! These home staff missionaries are extremely important! And these are the necessary jobs that they fill:
Florida Trip Highlights
I had an great time in Florida! Amy & I were able to share in a missions conference in Lake City, Florida. I had an awesome time meeting new people & sharing about Mexico! I was also able to visit the New Tribes USA Home Office and see all the people that are need to keep a mission organization running – close to 200 missionaries! It was also nice to see that Amy & I are on thinking the same way about Mexico as we are getting ready to go! We were also able to put on a Mexican Fiesta for the Youth Group that Amy’s involved in! And I was able to see the Atlantic Ocean, but no gators (I think it is a tourist trap!)
This October I took my first trip to Florida! As I left the fall colors in Oregon, I wondered what Florida would be like. I knew there would be palm trees, and moss, but there was so much more. I tried to enjoy the fall colors, but there was only one tree that changed colors, and it wasn’t even the leaves, it was a flowery looking thing. (more…)
Fall in Baker County
Hey Y’all,
It’s now fall time in Oregon! Which is great, but I won’t be here to enjoy it! Why? I was invited to share at a missions conference in Florida with Amy Heckman. So now you are wondering, “Crystal, why in the world would you want to go to Florida?” I thought I would never have to go to Florida, I’ve heard terrible things about it & seen terrible pictures of snakes & alligators (thank you Dun Gordy!).
