Florida Trip Dec 2008

Heres a fun vacation I took. A trip to Fort Lauderdale Florida a few years ago with a buddy. December in Florida was nice. Stayed at my friends grandparents place. Spent a lot of time playing fooseball at the rec room until we broke it. (our games got pretty intense and you can only use so much duct tape) we even named the players...my favorite was limpy. we rented a u-haul truck because it was the cheapest way to travel and cruised all around miami area. It was funny seeing lamborginis and escalades...and we pull up to the beach in a giant white and orange truck that says"U-HAUL" on the side. Man it was fun, shopping, beaches, movies, eating out. met a lot of fellow bros and sisters. set off a lot of fireworks in the street. got to visit my long lost nephew and his family in Orlando and see Disney World. Cody had never been there and I hadnt since i was a kid. I remembered it as soooo awesome but then we get there and it felt like we were in preschool or something. haha but we had some good times. The water park,a giant fireworks display at new years, some good rides....2 am and our car battery is dead in the back of a 10 mile parking lot in 30 degree weather. we had to literally chase down one of those caravan trains to get a ride back to the park for a guy to come out. we were riding around for hours.

Saipan May 2011

May 2011.    Went to the island of Saipan in Micronesia for three weeks. its actually a U.S territory like puerto rico or virgin islands...though has its own government, so its much easier to travel to if you are american. its like a 2 day flight (i was exhausted) and i was greeted by a crowd at the airport.  My best friends from Missouri went to live there for awhile because they wanted to reach out.   The people were friendly and the island was beautiful.  Its amazing how many races of people live there.  korean, thai, philipino,chinese, japanese,samoan, not to mention all the local island tribes.  weather stays in the 80's all year round.  The response in the ministry is really good.  everyone has lots of bible studies and the congregation keeps growing.    okay I dont know why but i swelled up like a balloon there.  i looked like a big puff ball and my clothes didnt fit.  must be the pressure or heat or something. it was wierd.  so hot and humid.  the island is reverting back to the stone age because the government wont fix or build anything new and wont let new buissness come in.   tourism is drying up too....i saw multi million dollar hotels/resorts overgrown with weeds and the scaffolding still on...never even got done building.
     But the congregations are growing and the society is really concentrating on that area out there.
service, snorkeling, and seeing some neat peices of history come alive was a real thrill.  you can still find peices of fine chinaware on the beach from a spanish gallion that crashed there in 1638.   here are a few links you will like.
